wow father you weren’t supposed to see

i know, i'm so sorry daddy. i wanted to tell you but...

No, it's not all right. I've been keeping this secret from you because I knew you wouldn't understand and maybe even hate me. But now that you found out...

Daddy, I've felt this way for as long as I can remember. I tried to ignore it and be who you wanted me to be, but it only made things worse. I thought if I could just express myself like this, maybe then everything would make sense. I didn't want to hurt you or disappoint you, that's why...

I can see that you're trying to be understanding and supportive, Daddy. I appreciate it so much. But please try to understand how hard this is for me too. I want us to be close like we used to be, but at the same time, I need my own space. Can we find a way to make both of our needs work?

I want that too, Daddy. I love you and I don't ever want to lose you. Let's take some time to talk about this, okay? We can find a way to make things work between us.

I need you to promise me one thing, though. You can't tell anyone about this, especially not your friends or family. I know it's going to be hard for you, but I'm counting on you to keep my secret safe.
