It’s not your fault that the grownups in your life let you down. It does not define you. You were not unloved. Your parents were damaged beings that were not ready to be parents. You turned out amazing without them.
Yes, you’re still fragile, hurting, and anxious, but it does not define you. You will get through this.
You have your mother’s strength and your father’s work ethic. You also have your mother’s anxiety and your father’s depression, but you already know this.
There are so many people who would miss you if you were gone. Please stay.
Sincerely, Jen.
