Apology Letters for Parenting

Dear {Recipient},

This letter may come as a surprise to you, given the fact that this is the first time I'm reaching out to you in {number of} years. I don't know how you'll react to my letter, but whether it's positive or negative, I hope that you'll read it until the end.

Would I go back in time and change things if I could? I honestly don't know the answer to that. While I truly regret not having been in your life, I can't help but be proud of the amazing person you've become. Yes, you deserved a better childhood and I should have been there for you, but I want you to know that I'm so very proud of who you are today.

Please don't think that I'm not condoning my actions. I know that what I did was inexcusable. Still, I hope that we can stay in touch. I'll understand if you'd rather have nothing to do with me, but I would be ecstatic if we can find a way to be in each other's lives from now on.

Sincerely,
{Your Name}

else}

{son/daughter} for {his/her} behavior, I am reaching out to you as I am also responsible for my {his/her}
