I Am Sorry Letters to Child
- I can’t believe I have to write this letter. I am sorry that no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t make you happy. You will always be my little girl and I wanted to do whatever it takes to make you feel better. I hope that you will always remember the good times.
- I’m sorry baby, I know you’re mad at me. I just want you to know that I am here for you. If you need anything, just send me an email or call me on my cell phone. I would never intentionally hurt you, especially because I love you so much!
- I am so sorry for everything I did to hurt you. I should have set better boundaries and provided you with more love and guidance. Forgive me, it will never happen again, I promise.
- I hate seeing you so sad. I wish I could take away your pain and make you happy again. You mean the world to me, and have always been there for me. It hurts that we fight so much, and I hate fighting with you. I love you so much, can never be without you!
- I’m sorry I was too busy to go see you at your show. Watching you perform always makes me proud. I never regret the time we spent together.
- I’m sorry I didn’t get you a present for your birthday. I love you with all my heart and wanted to give you something more than the others, but times are tough right now with work.
- I’m sorry that I haven’t been in touch with you. I’m drowning in shame because of it. I miss you so much and have been thinking of you, missing your smile and laugh.
- I don’t know how to tell you how sorry I am. I disrespected you, talked back to you, and hit a nerve that I never should have touched. We had a good friendship before this and I hope we can get back to it.
- My darling daughter, I’m sorry that we fight so often, but Mommy loves you so much and wants the best for you. I know you are growing up and using this newfound independence to make some really bad choices right now.
- I love you, and I’m sorry. I did something I shouldn’t have done when we fought about your little friends over the holidays. They can’t help that they are poor and a different color, or that their parents don’t live together, just like you can’t help the fact that you were born beautiful with brains and talent.
- I am so sorry for the hurt I have caused you. It was never my intent, and without a doubt, I would do anything to take away your pain. The episode is over, and I hope we can move forward and know that nothing like that will ever happen again. I love you with all my heart, Dad.’
- I am sorry. I was wrong. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I was angry and took it out on the wrong person. I would not do that to you on purpose, because I love you so much. Forgive me?
- First of all, you don’t need to apologize. It’s okay if you made a mistake, it was a simple accident. I know you and trust you. You are a good person, and I love you so much. I understand that sometimes we can be careless and make mistakes without even noticing. It’s fine! Don’t feel guilty! My darling, forgive yourself and nobody else will!
- I’m sorry I yelled at you. You were always such a good boy, and it kills me when I yell at you. That last scream was the hardest to get out. It just rolled off my tongue too easily, after that a flood of emotions took over my body and I wanted to punch someone. It’s not fair to you.
- I hope you will forgive me. I don’t believe in violence or abuse, and I am truly sorry that it has hurt or scared you. If I ever hurt or scared you on purpose, please believe me when I say, I’m sorry.
- I love you so much and I can’t imagine my life without you in it. Yesterday was the saddest day of my life because when I looked everywhere for you, I couldn’t find you. I went to every favorite place.
- I know you’re angry with me. I know I messed up and I don’t blame you for being upset. I keep telling myself that this is your fault, but it isn’t. It’s mine, and I am sorry for what happened. I made a mistake, a big one, and all I can do now is try to make things better. I will accept my punishment, no matter what it is.
- I know it was just a text and meant nothing by it. We can still be friends and I hope you will always remember me as your friend. I’m sorry if I ever upset you in any way, but I want you to know that I wish you all the best in life.
- I love you so much, more than I can ever express. I love seeing you smile, the way you snort when you laugh and I love the way your eyes light up when I walk into the room. You are my heart and my life…if I lost either one my world wouldn’t be worth living in.
- I’m so sorry. Please forgive me! I don’t know how you got puffy eyes, but it was all my fault. I take complete responsibility for everything that happened. I should have known better and I’m sorry. My little angel, please be gentle with me when you show your mother this letter. Love, Daddy
- Start with “I’m sorry.” What happened? I am a bad parent but I want to change that. I am not a perfect parent I am far from it, but all I can do is try my best and be at your side every step of the way.
- I’m sorry for never giving you the attention you deserve and always putting me first. I love you dad, but to be the best parent I can be, I am going to ask you to step back a little so I can get some time to myself. Your well-being is important to me as well, so please don’t feel alone. Please don’t think of this as us being apart or distant; please think of this as us just being in two
- I’m sorry you feel like I don’t listen to you. I don’t mean to ignore you. I do try to be a good listener and I hope you know I will always love you no matter what. It hurts me inside when you say mean things about me out of anger, I hope that in time we both understand each other better. At the end of the day, no matter what happens – I love you!
- I’m sorry I have been gone so long. I miss you and I wish that I could be there to see your shining star eyes and kiss your soft cheeks. You are a wonderful, beautiful little girl, I love you!
- What can I say? I miss you. This year went by so fast and every day it gets harder to be apart from you. You were my life and my reason to wake up. I miss you terribly! Come home as soon as your can to hold me tight and never let me go. I love you!
- I am so sorry for everything I have done to upset you. I would go through anything and everything to take back what has hurt me mentally and emotionally. Please forgive me.
- Today is the day when we remember our family and don’t forget to be thankful for everything we have. We give to others and sow seeds of kindness, generosity, and warm feelings. When I think about all these things, I also start thinking about you.
- I’m sorry for being mean to you before. I didn’t realize it until we were walking home and I felt so bad about it. We are friends, and friends always take care of each other. Please forgive me!
- I give you my apologies for the hurtful things I have said. I made each of these statements in anger and I was wrong to do so. My frustration led me to be hurtful, even though I don’t wish that on anyone. Because I have acted out of kindness, your name should never come from my lips in hatred, never again will it happen.
- I am so sorry. I know what I did was wrong. But it wasn’t my fault. You made me mad, and you shouldn’t have done that. It’s not fair that he gets to go play with his friends and I have to stay in all the time. This is not my fault, it’s yours!
- I’m sorry I’ve been so busy. It seems as if I’m always working. I make myself available every chance I get. This week will be different, I promise!
- You have been such a wonderful daughter. From the time you were born, I was the proudest father in the world. You have come a long way, you have changed my life completely, your smile warms my heart every time I see it, you are such a light in my life.
- I’m sorry I can’t always be there for you like I want to. I care so much about you and love reading your letters. If I could fix things, I would. Your love means everything to me and I will always send you my love when we aren’t together.
- I love you to the moon and back. I am so sorry for everything that has happened, but I hope someday we can mend our relationship and be in your life again.
- I am so proud and happy to call you my daughter. You are wonderful not only for who you are but for all that you do. I love how forgiving, kind, and caring you are. You amaze me with your ability to forgive. I am humbled by your obedience and grateful for your examples of faith and love.
- I’m sorry I don’t tell you how much I love you more often. I love you so much and hope you know that. I promise to show it more. I’m sorry for the times when we fight. We have put up with a lot, but we can get through anymore. I love you so much and will do anything to make you happy!
- I’m sorry for not listening to you when you needed me. I’m sorry for yelling at you, calling you names. I’m sorry for never being there for you when you needed me to be, I just wasn’t ready. But as time went on, I finally realized that I was hurting myself more than anyone.
- We haven’t spent a lot of time together lately. I love you very much and I am so sorry if I have ignored you or been too busy to talk with you. I hope we can have more fun times together soon.
- I’m sorry I haven’t been around lately. My mind has been elsewhere for the last few days. I’ve been sick and tangled in my thoughts. It won’t happen again. I promise.
- I’m sorry I didn’t bring you to the zoo this week. I was feeling sick and completely forgot about it. Please forgive me!
- I’m sorry, my baby, that I won’t be there to tuck you in at night. I’m sorry that I won’t be there to help you with your homework. I’m so sorry that we won’t be able to build any more memories together. But I know that you will always be a part of me and no matter how far away from you are I know that we are close to each other. You are my beautiful little girl
- I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me. I let you down, but I won’t anymore. You are my baby and always will be, no matter how old you get. I love you more every day and want to make up for your lost time. I am here for you now and forever.

- I’m sorry I yelled at you. I don’t mean to yell, it just comes out sometimes. I love you and hate to argue with you. I’m sorry for all the times I hurt your feelings and made you feel small and not important. I will try harder to be a better parent for you.
- I love you more than words could ever say. I am always here for you and I want to be a positive role model in your life. You are the most important thing in my life, and I will never quit on us. I’m sorry that I was not a better friend to you. Please forgive me, Please love me again.

- I am sorry…..that I wasn’t a better father, because I failed you as a man. I am sorry that I wasn’t there when you needed me most. There are so many things that I am sorry for and if could tell you every single thing that happened, it would take a lot of time.

- I am sorry that I didn’t help you the other night when you came to me for comfort. I am sorry that I haven’t been a supportive big sister recently. I know we don’t live together anymore, but you will always be my favorite person in the world. I love you!
- I know that I can be extremely annoying; even when you are at the end of your rope. I don’t mean to be. It’s just that it is so easy to love you, and sometimes I just can’t contain all my feelings. You are my little buddy and I hope you know that I will be by your side forever.
