You want someone to love you. It is time to forgive yourself for not being able to love us enough. Forgive yourself for letting us down. Forgive us for being so possessive and asking too much of you. Tell yourself, "I love you just the way you are. I am glad you were born. We are ready for you. You do not need to do anything for us except be yourself. We love you just the way you are."
