A father apologizes for not protecting his daughter growing up and promises to show up for her now. She's spent years building walls because no one had her back as a kid. He tells her she doesn't have to carry that story alone anymore.
I'm not gonna act like no damn baby so y'all can attack me. I don't need no damn girl in my life.
There goes the second part. She just said, I'm not gonna act like a child right now so y'all can attack me. So a child that did not feel like she had support or was heard had to build up a guard and had to be strong. That's all this is we seeing here.
And you just said outta your own mouth, you just said outta your own mouth that I can't, that's hard for me. And you gotta reconcile that in your own time. Here, let me take, come here. Can you take my hand? Take both my hands and look at me. I am sorry that as a young girl, you did not get protected. And I'm sorry that no one listened to you. And I'm sorry that you had to build up this defense, that you had to do all this stuff to protect yourself when you should have been protected. And if your father's not in a space to fully tell you that right now without blaming your mother, I wanna be the man to tell you that.
