I hate this

I hate that you're hurting
I hate that there isn't anything I can do to fix it
I hate that I know exactly what you are going through, yet still can't help
I hate that I know the feelings you have
I hate that they are so bad
I hate that you can't sleep
I hate that I know how long it took me before I slept soundly again
I hate that this has to happen to one more person
I hate that 16 years isn't long enough with him
I hate that 6 years is no where near enough with him
I hate that you have to grow up before your time
I hate that your mum needs you
I hate that it's his fault that your mum needs you
I hate that you have the fear that I had
I hate this
I hate this
I hate this

You don't deserve this. None of you do. No one does, yet still it is something we must endure.
I know it doesn't seem like it now, but you will get through this, and you will get through it a better and more mature person than you could ever have imagined you would ever be.
You will find your place and you will fulfill your role and you will be brilliant.
And then when it is time for you to go out into the world, you will be mature enough to be able to face it with good grace and accept any challenges that come your way.
I hate this, And I hated it for me
But, morbid though it may seem.
I am grateful now
Because it has changed me for the better
I went through some horrible stuff,
But I grew as a person, and learnt to deal with it,
And now I am ready to face the world.
I have grown up, and I will succeed.
In time, you will get past this,
And you will be ready.
And in the meantime, we will be here,
waiting to fix all your problems,
to help you in any and every way we can
so take advantage of us;
we are here for a reason.
I promise I will be your fairy Godmother
