I was being rebelious and selfish and i totally ignored what my dad told me, he told me not to go to my bf's 4th of july party but i went anyway. Because of my actions, i'm now kicked out of my house and i'm not welcome back. I never meant to hurt my dad the way i did. I feel so bad, he's always been there for me and always supported me, and i basically spit in his face. I've tried to appologize but i guess i cut too deep. I have been praying so much about the whole situation. I want everything to turn out right, i want my dad to forgive me and take me back. I know this is pretty much like a confession but i just want people to know my story to a certain extent and maybe they can help me by praying for my situation also. I'm normally not the rebelious type of person , i just dont know what got over me. Can anybody help me?

Sweety, The reason parents set up rules is to keep you safe. And when you break them, there are conquences to that as well. Give your Father time to calm down. He still loves you, but you did hurt him pretty bad.
Father,
I lift up this young girl to you for you to shelter her and protect her as you soften her father's heart and allows her to come back home. I pray that this experience will bring a brighter light into her life to where she will understand why her father sets up rules and at times will say no to her. Through You Father, according to Your will, I ask that you bring father and daughter back together, with a better understanding for one another. In the precious name of Jesus , amen

I am a father with personal knowledge of the other side of your actions. I do not know all of the circumstances, There is more than you have told for sure.... I can tell you that if things got so far that you are now in the situation you face.... a whole lot more was and is involved...
I will, in all likly hood, never have any relation ship with my daughter again. Here too, a lot more involved than The Last Straw.
will state that there is most likely enough blame to go around in all that has happened to you. As between my daughter and I.
I am of the Christian Faith and I want you to know that I will very much be praying for you... and for your father and all of family...
my daughter and I were baptized togeather. I do not say I was best father. But I offered what I was able. and there was betrayal. Of me and of all those of her Christian family. A lot more involved here as well
But I do know some of the pain you are feeling... I Will pray that you find a way, with God leading, to "mend some fences" at least and get a start on what will most likly be a long road to reconciliation.

you're not normally rebellious but he kicked you out anyways? That doesn't sound right. If this was a constant thing and you were over the age of 18, yes, he even should do that. But if this is a rare occurrence, sounds like the problem is your dad, not you. You've said you're sorry and meant it. He is the one who is being unforgiving and he is the one who is in the wrong now. If you are under the age of 18 (which I hope you are if he is being so controlling to tell you where you can an can't go on July 4th), then what he is doing to you is illegal and abusive. If you are 18, and he kicked you out over something so incredibly minor, he is being controlling and manipulative. Try to repair the relationship, but don't move back home. You need out from under his thumb.
Anyhow, yes, I will pray for you but wanted to respond to what you wrote as well. You sounded like you felt pretty guilty and that the entire situation is your fault when it's not, and you shouldn't be guilty anymore once you have apologized sincerely.

Please understand that if you are a teenager, it is normal and natural for you to rebel at least a little bit. It is a part of learning who you really are and how you are different from other people. Any parent worth their salt knows this and should expect their teen to rebel at some point. It is therefore, your father's responsibility to guide you in the right direction when you have rebelled in a way that may be harmful to you. What he has done instead, unfortunately, is put you in even more danger by forcing you out of your home when you are obviously too young and still in need of protection from an adult. If you are an underage minor, then what he has done is worse than unwise but is also considered a crime in the United States and known as child abandonment (1). If this is what he has done, then he has made a terrible mistake, one that is much worse than yours. If you have no where safe to go and your father still refuses to allow you back into your home, then for your own safety, I recommend you go to the authorities immediately and get help. YOU are the victim here, and I will definitely pray that your father comes to his senses and does the responsible, adult thing before it is too late.

I am praying for you right now. A simular thing happened a few yrs back, & I hurt the man who had been taking care of me & my brothers for a few yrs. But He is a Christian & he did forgive me. It took a while, but he did. It really hurts when someone you love so much hurts you so much. It may take a little time, & you may have to prove yourself again. But God sees what is going on . HE will comfort you. I will pray.

I will certainly pray for you. If you write out in a note what you have written here and leave it for your Dad, he might be willing to discuss some options. You need to ask him for his forgiveness, no question. It seems a bit harsh, though, to kick you out for one incident. Has anything like this happened with you two before?
Best of luck...prayers on their way up.

Some parents are jealous of their children's other half.
You need not apologise, because you've not done anything wrong to your dad. Your dad will cool down.
I'll pray that the relationship will go well in time.

I will pray for you. Write your dad a letter and ask his forgiveness. Tell him you are sorry and everything will turn out ok.

In all honesty, your dad is behaving like a baby. Maybe you should just move in with your bf.
