Hey mom,
I'm not who I used to be. I can't work like I used to–and I know you still believe in me but I need you to see that things have changed. I need a new plan.
I don't want to drag you down with my mediocracy and I know I am going to be less than what you invested in me. You don't understand how truly sorry I am for that. I wish I could give back the time, the money, the love but I can't.
I love you. Please realize that I am failing and I do not want to drag anyone else down with me. I don't want to be saved because I don't think I can be. We've tried everything.
I want you stay strong and move on. Don't look back. I'll be ok.
Sincerely,
