I'm sorry, I don't mean to jump on you, especially today.

I know you are trying to help.

It's taken me a long time to gain enough confidence to understand that I, often, have perfectly good reasons for the actions I take.

Talking to my dad will set me up for more abuse from him and it won't mean anymore financial help. I'm afraid that bridge is now burned. Not that I wanted to ask again anyway.

I don't want to ruin anyone's holiday. I'm sorry for all of this today.
