Question

That I understand if that makes me untrustworthy and that if I have let her down , that I went behind her back and I understand if she chooses to take away the car.

Answer 1

Mom, I have something important to tell you. I went against your wishes and bought new clothes without your permission. I understand that this was not the right thing to do and that my actions have consequences. I want you to know that I understand if you see me as untrustworthy and if you feel that I have let you down by going behind your back. If you choose to take away the car as a consequence, I will accept that decision. I am truly sorry for not respecting your wishes and I will work to regain your trust in the future.
