You are probably dealing with trust issues. Try to talk about it with your relative and find the source of the problem.

Tell them the truth about where you are going and why and if they still don’t believe you then ask a friend or someone you were with to tell them as well that you were there with them. If that doesn’t work and you have an iPhone you’re family member can track where you are on your phone and that will show them that you were not lying and that they owe you an apology. If they still don’t try telling them in a kind manner that you where actually not there. If they don’t believe you take a picture of the place you are and show your family member that you where there.

I usually tend to look at why the other person feels insecure and is not able to trust. A lot of times I am reminded that we are mere reflections of oneself, it is likely that they are having a hard time trusting themselves. I would continue to be open and truthful in my responses to him/her. Sometimes it takes time to build or earn trust. And if I did not feel that I was being heard or validated for my consistent and open honesty, I would express how the person is making me feel by repeatedly not believing what I tell them.

Talk to the person.....make things clear about where are you going....maybe he/she is worried about your safety....assure them....and the last thing you can do is ask them to keep a track talk to the people who are accompanying you....share your plans and make them realise that you are not the one they judged you to be....you too have your work and issues to deal with...maybe you can ask them to go along with you or track your details if they are so doubtful....if the issue arose because of some previous things make them believe that you learnt from your mistakes and now you have changed....you know your best and can do it....

If a family member thinks you are lying about where you're going when you're not, I say you should confront them and ask them on the reason why they don't believe you. I would show proof on where I am going. Say, you are going out with your friends to a restaurant and your parents still don't believe you, show them the text messages. Ask them the reason for their disbelief, but be gentle about it. Parents may not all be this way but if they are, then I say you should use this method. Don't get hurt if they say that, however.

Dealing with someone’s lack of trust in what you tell them can be very difficult and frustrating. When confronted by someone not believing me, I used to get defensive and angry, which only fueled the confrontation. While it may be important to verify where you have been, especially if you are underage or under your parents roof, it is also important to remember to protect your own emotional and mental health. Defend yourself, but remember that you do not need to soothe someone’s inability to trust you when you are honest and straightforward. They are dealing with their own insecurities and laying them on to you. Remember that the truth always wins out, so if you are honest and consistent you will be okay.

You can allow them to investigate; show them your phone location's tracking records. You can address the cause of their upset. Maybe they were worried about you, or afraid of losing you. You can thank them for their love and care for your safety. On the other hand, if this family member is being toxic, and coming from a place of trying to control you, it might not be a bad idea to calmly and firmly tell them that you need your own space. Or, keep walking on eggshells around them. On the surface you can reassure them that yes, they do know better, and they have control, again and again, until they relax. It's possible to say what people want to hear without losing power.

Address the situation to them honestly. Try to speak to them about what may be causing them to think this way of you. Although the situation is upsetting that you aren't trusted, try to help them understand that their thoughts of you are misleading. Show them proof if needed be that you are where you claim to be by sending a picture to them of where you went. This will help them begin to trust you more often and can help build a trustworthy relationship. Regardless of what your family thinks of you, always believe in yourself. Hope this helps.
