I’m sorry for when I was too little or too much.
I’m sorry for all the times I did not see you, when I was too self-involved or not present enough.
I’m sorry for the times I didn’t listen well enough.
I’m sorry for when I listened, but still couldn’t hear you.
I’m sorry for all the times I got it wrong.
I’m sorry for all the times I may have been right, but it shouldn’t have mattered.
I’m sorry I wasn’t always there when you needed me.
I’m sorry for when I projected my truths onto you.
I’m sorry I worked so hard when you were little.
I‘m sorry I didn’t always value myself enough to show you how you could value you.
I’m sorry I yelled at you when I was angry with myself.
I’m sorry for when I told you what I should have shown you.
I’m sorry I hurt you.
I’m sorry I hurt me.
I’m sorry.
I am.
I did what I could.
I know that’s enough.
And now I can do better.
P.S. This is an apology to me as much as it is to you.
