pretty difficult to parent anyone without trust.
i ask them for the truth... i give it back in return... period.
this really calls to me. Until I was 16 my parents had always told me the truth, and I had absolute trust in them. When i found out one day that they tricked me into staying home this one night (both of them lying out their asses to acheive this) i lost all respect and trust for them. If they had just told me that they were worried about me and would really enjoy if I stayed home that night, I would have done it for sure. As it was though, we pretty much stopped communicating at that point and the last years of high school with my parents were very trying.
