She needs to find love and safety in real life. She can't make up relationships in her head anymore and act as if they are real. Daddy X will always love and care for you. And he'll be there in your heart. He'll be there in the things he taught you. You did nothing wrong. I know you loved being with him, the attention he gave you, the feeling of security and worth he gave you. And it was fun. I don't know what we will do now. I'll try my best to continue to show you that you are worth something. That you can be loved for you. I don't know how. B will help. But Dr X gave us a really good start. If he could love you and see good in you then there is something there.
Love,
me

I appreciate you sharing your letters here. I think they are beautiful. I wonder if your little one really needs to hear something specific from you, like I love you, little one, and I will do my best to pay attention and listen to what you have to say. You have helped me move forward in becoming a more whole person. I will protect you and show you that I love you.
My younger part used to spend a lot of time trying to get my attention, sort of by (symbolically) throwing rocks in my path. Telling her I loved her and would care for her was something she needed to hear.
