Dear Nichole:

“I’ve let myself down in a lot of ways due to fear”- your fear is so intense because your parents (and brothers) let you down in real life. Blame your parents for letting you down, instead of blaming yourself.

See the innocent girl that you were, having done no wrong, look into her eyes, see how hurt she is because the people she trusted betrayed her in one way or another, and feel compassion for this little girl. See her and invite her into your arms with love. Let her know that she can trust you, that you will not betray her like the others did.

No matter how you feel, do right by this girl in you, don’t give up on this little girl.
