I never knew this letter would be so hard to write.1
I think of all the bad things, of what is inspiring me to pack my bags and leave and then I think of all the good memories and my heart starts to break all over again; I never wanted it to turn out like this.2
I know you are working hard at getting over your fears; and I know that usually, if I keep insisting, your inhibitions will dissolve for whatever situation is at hand. But just because you've been hurt several times before doesn't mean that I should have to keep trying to get you to do something when the world isn't going to give you as many chances as I have. 3
You always said you would never want to take after your mother; you would do anything to not be like her; but sometimes we both catch you with your defenses down, and your temper snaps like a twig. Life is not always easy, and you need to learn to deal with the hardships without needing so damn much reassurance.4
I know that maybe your heart is breaking as you read this letter, but please let me say this; you deserve better than the situations that you have indefinitely set yourself up for failure with, and then use the excuse that it didn't work out because you're different.5

Excellent. Clearly states that you can no longer handle the way you need so much reassurance, the way you try so hard not to be like your mother, yet you are. You say that you want to leave, you need more than somebody who holds you back because they need so much love, but you stay because they need just one more chance to prove themselves. Once again, good job.
