Sep. 6th, 2006 09:31 amMy angel,
I'm sorry, you made me angry, I didn't mean to lash out.
I still don't understand you sometimes. I am trying, I really am, please don't punish the children for our problems. They deserve better than that.
I forget sometimes about how you are. I try not to, but I do, I can't help it.
I forget that you don't feel the way I do. I love Fred and Penny with all my heart and it would never occur to me to tell either of them that they were an accident, or a spare, or a freak, or bad. But that's because they're my children, and I think they're special and unique and beautiful and clever and the best things that have ever happened to me. I guess I expect you to feel the same, and that's unfair of me. I know you're trying, and I know your hearts are in the right place, and I know I'm expecting too much from you if I think those feelings are going to come naturally to you. They're not, and I understand that, and I'm sorry for momentarily forgetting it. I know you could be a great dad. Please come back and try, for their sakes, and your own. Don't do something you'll regret later. They miss you.
I miss you.
All my love,
Reinette.
