Lately, I’ve come to realize that some people perceive me as a bit unapproachable or even rude. It’s a fair assessment, and I can see how it might be true. So, I want to extend my heartfelt apologies to anyone I’ve inadvertently offended while genuinely trying to be kind.
I’m sorry for being late once again; I realize it may have seemed disrespectful. However, just as I was about to leave, I had to deal with my 8-year-old stepdaughter’s messy diaper. Despite our progress in potty training, her autism makes it challenging for her to recognize her body’s signals. We’re optimistic, though!
If I seemed dismissive while you excitedly shared the news about your new puppy, I apologize. My husband lost his job this summer, and despite his great skills, the job market is tough right now, which weighs heavily on my mind.
I recognize that I may come off as irritable without reason, but I’ve been navigating my diagnosis of bipolar type 2, severe depression, and anxiety since my last pregnancy. I’m constantly battling an internal struggle to maintain a cheerful exterior, even when it feels impossible.
If I’ve let you down by not keeping my promises to read, attend workshops, or join classes, I’m truly sorry. I’m just trying to invest all my remaining time into my business amidst the chaos of daily life.
To my dear friends, I apologize if I snapped at you for canceling plans for a valid reason. Coordinating sitters for our four kids felt like deciphering a complex novel in a foreign language, and I was really looking forward to that much-needed break.
If I seem distracted and unable to muster enthusiasm for things I once loved, it’s because some days are about moving forward, even when every step feels heavy.
I’m trying to cherish the fleeting moments with my lively 1 1/2-year-old daughter and my 9-year-old son’s budding interest in hockey. I’m also focused on helping my 8-year-old stepdaughter develop essential life skills and enjoying the simple joys she finds in everyday things.
I’m working hard to support my 13-year-old stepson as he navigates his teenage years while also being the partner my husband needs. All the while, I’m trying to nourish my creative spirit, which often feels neglected. Some days are tough, and it’s hard to be everything for everyone. Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I might think I was hard to deal with too.
To those who wish to label me as unpleasant, I understand. But to the friends and family who appreciate the real me, thank you for your support. I’m genuinely trying my best.
