Dear Blondie —

I’m sorry I was such an arse.

You’re right — I do take out my anger at my mother on you. Like clockwork.

I guess the only surprising thing about it is that I’m still surprised by it?

Much as you can be annoying, I am kicking myself for how your face completely crumpled when I started to get irritated. I am very sorry.

I figure you’ll be fine — no major damage done, you’re used to it, so on and so forth.

And yet, yeah.
