I know Val’s not here, so we can do this now. I’m serious about you getting it together. And I’m not going to let you throw my own shit in my face so you can get out of it anymore.
youre right. I owe you an apology. ive been a real, for lack of better term, dick to you recently. And just... let me speak for a bit, ok? I have to say everything, I know its a lot to sit through.
Im trying to get it together. I need some patience from everyone. I've been through a lot. Even just jumping the gun and going to therapy isnt going to fix everything. It's going to be slow, Steph. There's things that happened long before this I won't tell you about. Kori has been helping me work through it slowly, but I still think I need to process what I know before I can talk to some stranger, and I know thats your goal in all of this. I know thats what everyone wants me to do, and I dont even think thats going to fix me. You dont know the half of what ive lived through.
What i can do right now is apologize for how I treated you, and say im so sincerely sorry that I rushed into a situation without thinking first. I left you with a kid you werent prepared for, and repeatedly threw that in your face when you were only trying to help me. I wasnt being a good person or brother figure.
