What do you need me to say? Hmm? 'Cause I want to say it.
Okay. You say "Ryan,... I'm sorry. I've messed up. I am never good enough. I've let you down. A lot. And I always made life hard for you. And if it meant that, over the years, you ever felt lonely, or abandoned, or didn't know where to turn, or who to talk to, or how to be, then I'm sorry. 'Cause...'cause you mustn't ever think that you didn't deserve my love."
You didn't ever think that.
[Ryan scoffs.]
Yeah. Why wouldn't you?.... Okay. Listen. Here's what you find out when you get older. There's things you done in your life... to others. The decisions you've made... maybe when... things were difficult... you get it wrong. But by the time you realize you got it wrong,... it's too late. You can't fix it because the damage is done. So you run. 'Cause you're too ashamed... to make it right. That's what I did.
No. You hid when I needed ya. First Mum. Then Nan.
I'm not hiding anymore.
