I’ll never forgot the first time she said it, the first time she said I hate you. I ran into the other room and balled. I wasn’t expecting something like that to be so painful, so harmful coming from her little mouth, I was shocked that those 3 little words could even hurt as much as they just did. Now, being told it a time or two, I always tell her that those are very hurtful words, and that no matter what I always love you, even when you are naughty and hurting my feelings, I tell her those exact words, every time she tells me I hate you, I always respond with this same sentence. I always walk away, every tome, don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry, because even though I know she doesn’t mean it, I know she’s just upset and trying to push my buttons, it still hurts to hear and thinking about it, I don’t know it’s just different ya know, coming from someone you have cared for their whole life, it’s just different. There’s no words. ☹️
