2. ““. . . We, as an appellate court, are not concerned with conflicting evidence or the weight and credibility of the witnesses’ testimony; the trier of facts has the responsibility of weighing the evidence and determining what testimony will be believed. We are interested only in evidence which supports a trial court’s findings and not with that tending to establish findings to the contrary. If the record discloses substantial competent evidence to support the findings of the trial court, they will not be disturbed on appeal. (Service v. Pyramid Life Ins. Co., 201 Kan. 196 , 440 P. 2d 944 ; Griffin v. Price, 199 Kan. 649 , 433 P. 2d 464 ; Horton v. Montgomery Ward, 199 Kan. 245 , 428 P. 2d 774 .) . . .” (l.c. 466, 467.)”
