Sorry, I was not able to give you the love, respect, and compassion that you so deserve. Now I understand that you went through so much, and at times I did not treat you with the kindness you deserved in tough moments.

I apologize for placing the blame on you during your pain, making you feel responsible for things which were not in your power. You were doing what you could with what was going on, and I was a bit too hard on you.

Sorry to stay in unhealthy situations too long, to distrust instincts, and not to know when to let go. You are always so strong and capable, and I should have been standing right beside you when the decision came along honoring your worth.

I am sorry for all those times that I told myself that I was not good enough or that I was not worthy of peace. You are enough, just the way you are. You deserve healthy, supportive relationships and love that nurtures your heart.

I am sorry for letting my fears and anxieties rule my life, for letting them guide my actions and thoughts. You are so much more than your fears. I will support you as you take small steps forward, one day at a time, to regain your strength and confidence.

I promise to be more patient with you. I will remind you of your worth and encourage you to set boundaries, to protect yourself from anyone or anything that doesn't contribute positively to your well-being. You deserve to feel safe, loved, and respected.

I forgive you for bearing situations that hurt you, and I will be working on showing myself more love and being softer in the future. The experience has taught you lots, and you are still stronger each day.

Thanks for loving much, holding onto hope even when things weren't easy. You do the best you can and that's all anyone can ever ask of anyone. May you receive all of life's happiness, peace, and love.
