People who love us care about how they make us feel. This isn't love. You are so wonderful and deserve to feel safe and loved and cared for. I know this is really scary and I never want to put you in more danger so let's figure out a safe way to handle this together. What can I do right now to make your tomorrow a little better and safer? I love you so much and I am so glad you felt safe enough with me to reveal this. You deserve so much better.
