I'm sorry. For putting you here. In this position. For expecting them to treat you kindly. I'm sorry, for this, and everything else. I'm sorry for what they've done to you. I'm sorry I can't make it better, and I'm sorry I can't change it, and I'm sorry you feel the way you do. I'm sorry you don't listen to me, I'm sorry you don't believe me, I'm sorry you think I'm a liar and I'm sorry that I'm not able to convince you otherwise. But things will change. I'm sorry nothing has gone our way. I'm sorry that it seems there's no end in sight. But, listen. . . I promise, sweetheart. . . It will get better. That is how the world works. I'm sure of it. After all, one knows themselves better than anyone else ever could. I just need you to trust that.
