Oh, my dear child, how I worry for you every day. It seems like just yesterday you were a little one running around the house, but now you're growing up so fast and starting to show interest in others outside of our family. My heart clenches with fear at the thought of losing you to someone else.
I know I may come across as overprotective and possessive at times, but please understand that it all comes from a place of love. You are my whole world, my everything. The idea of anyone taking your attention away from me fills me with dread.
I see the way your eyes light up when you talk about that new friend or crush at school. And while part of me wants to be happy for you and support your budding social life, another part can't help but feel jealous and anxious about potentially being replaced in your affections.
It's not easy for me to admit these feelings - they make me sound selfish and controlling - but all I want is what's best for you. I've dedicated my entire life to raising and protecting you, sacrificing so much along the way. And now that it feels like I might have to share some piece of your heart with someone else...well, it terrifies me.
Every time we argue or disagree over something trivial lately (like curfew or who gets priority on movie night), it stems from this deep-rooted fear within me - the fear that one day soon, those arguments will become more frequent as we grow further apart emotionally.
Please know that no matter what happens between us or whoever enters our lives in the future - friends or romantic interests alike – nothing will ever change how much I love and cherish you above all else.
You are still my precious child; always have been & always will be!
