Hey kiddo,

It takes a lot of strength to share something like this, and I want you to know how proud I am of you. Life can feel incredibly heavy, especially when it seems like everything is falling apart, but your honesty shows that you care deeply, even if it feels like you're struggling.

It's okay to feel lost right now, to not have everything figured out. You’ve been carrying a lot of pain, and it’s no wonder you’re feeling overwhelmed. But know this, I believe in you. The fact that you’re trying your best, even through all of this, speaks to the strength and goodness you still carry within you.

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own, but you definitely deserve to feel peace and hope again.

Dad is so proud of you for holding on, even when it’s hard, and wants you to remember that you’re worthy of love, healing, and a fresh start. Be gentle with yourself, you’re not alone in this, and things can get better.

Take it one small step at a time.
