Dear [Mother's name / 妈妈],

I hope you are taking care of yourself during this difficult time. I know these events have been very hard on you, and I am deeply sorry for that.

I am writing to apologize for the pain I have caused your family, and especially Tingting.

Our marriage had difficulties for some time, and I had lost hope. I even wanted to ask you for help, but I didn't have the courage to do it. While Tingting was trying so hard these past weeks to save our relationship, I was not truly present - I made bad choices, I lied to her, and I put my attention elsewhere. On Thursday night, I finally saw her efforts and hope came back for me too. We finally had the right timing. But it was too late - the mistakes were already made, the lies already there. The truth came out the next day. I deeply regret not being honest earlier, and destroying our chance at the very moment we had found it again.

Tingting gave everything she had to save us. She tried so many ways to reach me and understand me, even while she was suffering. She deserved honesty and my full commitment. I failed to give her that when it mattered most.

You have always shown me kindness and welcomed me into your family. Even yesterday, in the midst of so much pain, you showed dignity and restraint. I am grateful for that, and I am sorry for putting such sadness in your eyes.

Your daughter is an extraordinary person - strong, caring, and deeply committed to the people she loves. She deserves better than what I gave her.

Please take care of yourself and rest. I am truly sorry.

With sincere apologies and respect,
Alexis

亲爱的妈妈，

希望您在这段艰难的时期能够照顾好自己。我知道这些事情对您来说非常难受，我对此深感抱歉。

我写这封信是为了向您和家人，特别是向婷婷道歉，为我所造成的伤痛。

我们的婚姻有一段时间出现了困难，我失去了希望。我甚至想向您寻求帮助，但我没有勇气这样做。在婷婷这几周努力挽救我们关系的时候，我并没有真正投入——我做了错误的选择，对她撒谎，把注意力放在了别处。周四晚上，我终于看到了她的努力，希望也回到了我心中。我们终于找到了合适的时机。但已经太晚了——错误已经犯下，谎言已经存在。第二天真相就暴露了。我深深后悔没有早点诚实，在我们重新找到机会的那一刻却亲手毁掉了它。

婷婷倾尽全力想要挽救我们的婚姻。即使在她自己很痛苦的时候，她也用了很多方法试图理解我、接近我。她应该得到诚实和我全部的投入。但在最关键的时刻，我没有做到。

您一直对我很好，把我当作家人接纳。即使在昨天那么痛苦的时刻，您依然保持着尊严和克制。我很感激，也很抱歉让您的眼中出现了那样的悲伤。

您的女儿是一个非凡的人——坚强、体贴、对她爱的人全心投入。她值得比我给予她的更好的对待。

请您好好照顾自己，多休息。我真的很抱歉。

致以真诚的歉意和敬意，
Alexis
