When Support Never Comes

To anyone feeling alone, just know that you are. Imagine having a partner who doesn’t care about your mental health, who doesn’t support your achievements, who shows no real concern. That’s where I am right now, and honestly, it’s broken me.

I don’t usually post things like this, but I need to say it I’m sorry. Sorry if I wasn’t a good enough dad, if I didn’t encourage enough, help enough, teach enough, or push myself harder. I’m sorry if I wasn’t enough. The truth is, the one person I wanted support from never gave a damn.

Don’t be fooled by fake tears because when I was here, when I needed them most, they didn’t care enough to be there.
