dayne: Did your Uncle react any differently than you would have expected under the circumstances? If he reacted as you would expected, then you took a chance, got caught, and now you pay the price. I personally think there is a way you might be able to start earning his respect again.
Tell your Uncle that it was completely inappropriate for you to use his computer as you did, that you were wrong to do so. Tell him you recognize his concern for his children under the circumstances. Then, ask him to forgive you and what he you can do to make things right in his eyes. It takes a very big person to admit when your wrong. And this is something you do only if you are absolutely sincere about it. Otherwise, it is a total waste of time to even think of it. If you do this you open yourself to finding out what is really on your Uncle's mind. And it means your relationship with him and his family is important enough to be a man and stand up to the consequences of what occured.
Some people might call me melodramatic. I think not. I think you may be under estimating how much his concern for this children enters in to this. With all the crazy things that are happening with children in the world today, many parents are more worried than you might imagine. You know that he has nothing to worry about, but he doesn't. ( I say this based on how I read your posts.) What you will say to him as to why you did it, and how you will handle it in the future, I can't tell you. I had a situation with my brother in law which had some similarities to this. He ended up apologizing to me-he totally misunderstood something. It has taken almost five years for him to really be comfortable with me again. Remember anything that could possibly be interpreted as a threat to a man's children probably is one of the greatest threat's he will ever encounter.
Good luck.
