You know that moment when I stormed in and shouted, “I can’t stand you!”? Well, if I had the chance to elaborate, I would have said, “I dislike you because you’re way smarter than me, you always see through my plans, and you never let me do anything fun. But deep down, I know it’s all out of love, and that fact drives me crazy because it makes me feel guilty. So yes, your parenting strategies are working, but I can’t help but be frustrated by them. Ugh.”
I thought I was rebelling against you, but in reality, I always knew you cared. Unfortunately, I often put my own desires ahead of your feelings, while you consistently prioritized what was best for me. Thank you for being the responsible adult I thought I was ready to be, but clearly wasn’t.
I also owe you apologies for a few specific events: the cafeteria fiasco, the infamous “skort” episode, the concert mess, and that incident with Sarah—which I hope you’ve managed to forget by now.
There are countless other things I should apologize for, but since you’re blissfully unaware of most of them, I think it’s better we let those sleeping dogs lie.
With love,
Your daughter, a.k.a. Your Former Teenaged Nightmare
