Everybody makes mistakes, but it takes a big person to apologize and take responsibility. Apology Letter to Dad from Daughter: You’re responsible for every action you take and every word you speak. If you did something wrong, you can apologise and try to fix it. Don’t take things out on the people who care about you.
If you are looking for apology messages to your father and thinking about the way out to say sorry to him, for whatever you have done, then here is a good sample letter for apologising to dad.
Apology Letter to Dad from Daughter
- I am so sorry for what I did to you. I hurt you when I said those things and I don’t expect you to EVER forgive me. I am going to make it up to you though. We can start over – can we? You are the best dad ever and I hope you are ready for me to keep asking for forgiveness.
- Daddy, I need to tell you that no matter what happens, even if we argue or hurt each other, we will always be family and I love you very much. I am sad that we fight sometimes but remember that we are always your daughter, who will love and care for you. I hope we can move forward and be happy again. I’m sorry.
- Dear Dad, I know last night I was a little difficult to work with. I had wanted to go home, but after the way you talked to me, I changed my mind. Even though I am no longer going to the party for Steven’s sister, I want you to know that it has nothing to do with you. I’m upset because of how things are at home. My sisters always get everything they want and I can never get what I want. Forgive me for my behaviour dad, you are my number one man.
- Thinking of you, while you’re gone, gives me a sense of patriotism. You are the best father any child could have. Our family would not be what it is without your strength and guidance. I love you and miss you very much!
- Where to even begin? Forgive my tardiness! I owe you an apology for a slew of things. First and foremost, would be the time I stayed out past curfew, which was completely unacceptable. Next would be dropping out of school and quitting my job, I know how much you wanted me to achieve my goals. Third would be all my costly shopping trips to replace all the things I lost while staying with you. But most of all dada, I am sorry for not talking or texting. I hope you forgive and accept me back.
- I know that sometimes I let you down. Sometimes I make you mad and I also know that I don’t say thank you enough! I really am sorry if I have ever done anything to hurt you or make you upset. Someday soon, I hope to make it up to you. Until then keep loving me like you always did, because one day I know that my life is going to change, but even in all the bad memories, I know that there are going to be good moments of us together.
- I am so sorry for the way I treated you. I was a horrible daughter and I know that. It kills me to know how much pain I caused and how much you must hate me for the way that I acted. Some people may think that it was because my mom died but the truth is, I said some horrible things to you because of my own selfish reasons, because of my own problems.
- I feel so very sad and I cry just to think how much I have disappointed you. There is no one else in the whole world that has meant more to me than you–but this is the greatest sorrow of my life.
- My dearest Dad, I am so sorry for not calling you or visiting you as often as I am supposed to. You mean so much to me that I just don’t know how I ever went so long without getting in touch. I never want to hurt you again so I promise that you will hear from me more often. Love always, your daughter.
- Dear Dad, I’m writing you this letter to tell you sorry for all of the stress and frustration that I caused you throughout the years, I am now a proud mother of a beautiful girl and if I could turn back time and fix my wrongdoings, I would. From now on I promise to be a better role model for her than I was for you, best wishes from both of us, love Charlotte.
- Dear Dad, I’m so sorry for the pain I have caused you. You are always here for me and it is my duty to be there for you. My mistakes made your task difficult, but you dealt with them like a saint. I know that even when I am old and grey, I will always be your precious little girl.
- Dear dad: I’m so sorry for the pain I caused you with my choice of words. I know you’re not like that, and yet I made a big mistake by thinking that you were. I am so sorry for hurting your feelings. From the bottom of my heart, I apologize. My Best, Your daughter.
- I am so sorry for the way I have been treating you. You have always been there for me and given me everything a daughter could ever need from you. At the beginning of this year, it seemed as if I turned into a different person and I hurt the most important person in my life, you. From now on I will make more of an effort to let you know how much I appreciate you and love you.
- I am so sorry for hurting you. You deserved better than me, and I know you deserve the best. In this letter, I may hurt you more, but please don’t hate me. Just remember, that no matter what happened, I still love you and I always will.
- Dear father, I am so sorry for all the pain and hurt I have caused you. You don’t deserve it at all and I hope when you read this you could forgive me. You are the nicest and most loving person in the world and you deserve to be treated as such.
- I hope that you will always forgive me for my reckless behaviour. I was young and stupid and I thought that there were no consequences to my actions. But now I know better. I just want you to know that no matter how much time may pass, I will always be your little girl and that I love you more than words could ever say.
- I’m sorry I haven’t been the daughter or person that you think/or wanted me to be. I love you and will always be your little girl!
- I’m sorry I let you down. I’m sorry I broke your heart and made you cry. I’m sorry I didn’t get good grades and gave you the worst days of your life.
- I am so sorry for hurting you. When I told you, I was confused about my sexuality, I didn’t mean to make you feel like a failure as a parent or as a husband. You were the only man that made me feel loved and supported growing up. You gave me great advice and stood by me when things got hard. We have always been close and now I feel like we are drifting apart. I know it isn’t your fault and that it is mine, please accept my apology.
- I still remember the day I was born, memories that I will treasure for a lifetime. We share so many great memories together, adventures and nights filled with laughter.
- Hey dad. A few months ago, I wrote you an apology letter. I want to apologize again; I love you and miss you so much! You are my inspiration and a good father! I’ll make you proud!
- I always regret the things I don’t do, but never regret the things I do. Today, I realize that I have hurt you for a long time. I feel so terrible about it. For my father, I am here to express my apology to you. My dad, I love you so much and have always tried to make you happy! You were always the best dad in my life. Thanks for raising me up! Love you forever!
- I just want you to know I am sorry. Sorry I don’t call as often as I should, sorry I haven’t visited enough, and most of all sorry that we have had problems past this. You are the best father a girl could ask for, and a wonderful role model. I love you so much. And please give momma a hug for me.
- I love you dad so much more than you know. I’m so sorry for not being the daughter you wanted me to be. But I’m trying and hopefully soon enough, I’ll be your angel again. And to see that smile on your face is all I want right now. You mean the world to me, dad!
- I just want to thank you for being an amazing father. You have always been there for me, and I really appreciate it! Your love has made me who I am today and I won’t ever forget this. I’m sorry for all the mean things I have done to you over the years, but then again that is a part of growing up isn’t it? Love you lots!
- I’m sorry for all the times I have disappointed you and have made you angry. I hope that you will forgive me and know that I still love you.
- Dad, I want to say that I’m sorry for losing my temper. I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. It won’t happen again.
- I want you to know I am sorry for all the times I thought I was doing what was best for me and just not considering your feelings. I think back to bittersweet memories of time spent together and wish we could have done more together.
- I am sorry for the times I made you so angry I thought you were going to explode. I didn’t mean to do it, but you know how your little girl can be.
- I am so sorry to have hurt you; I could never forgive myself. I know that you gave me everything when I was growing up, but that doesn’t stop me from hurting people I love.
- Hey dad! Sorry for all the pain and anguish I’ve caused you over the years! I realize now it was those little mistakes that made me the woman I am today, and I want to thank you for all the sacrifices you made so that I could be who I am. I hope my love and appreciation makes up for all those times when I wasn’t so happy to call myself your daughter. Love you, Dad!
- I have no idea how to start this so I guess I will just spit it out. Dad, I am so sorry. I know things haven’t been the best between us and I understand if you don’t want to hear from me again but I wanted to tell you that I love you. It has taken me a long time to finally say that, but it is true. In fact, I think about you every day and how much you mean to me.
- I love you more than words can say, Dad. I don’t know what I would do without you and I am so sorry for the way I have treated you lately. Please forgive me for being so selfish and looking out only for myself. You are a great dad and I hope that spending time with us is making up for all the time we haven’t been able to spend together over the past few years.
- Daddy, I’m so sorry and please forgive me; I really love you. I feel so guilty. When you got hurt in the accident, I never should have taken my anger out on you. You took very good care of me, and I didn’t realize how difficult it must have been for you to deal with my rehab. I wish I could take back all the things that happened in the past between us, but it’s not possible now. All I can do is ask for your forgiveness.
- Dad, I can’t imagine my life without you. You have been the best father anyone could ever have.
- Dad, I’m sorry. Sorry that I can’t be what you want me to be and sorry that I’ve failed to meet your expectations in life. From the first day I was born, you have had a vision of how your life would turn out, and I let you down. My life became more than just disappointing: I feel like I stole your dreams away from you.
- I was so wrong to accuse you. You are the best dad in the world. I know that if I act out again, they will take me away from you and I didn’t want to lose you, so thank you for not punishing me. I love you!
- I’m sorry that I haven’t been the daughter I know you wanted. I’m sorry for the times I let you down and for the times I had let myself down when I should’ve been focusing on school. But most importantly I am sorry for not being your little girl anymore.
- I’m sorry for the pain I caused you, I’m sorry for what I said. I didn’t mean to make you sad. There is a reason for my anger, that reason hurts so much. Don’t try to understand, just know that it’s not your fault and that nothing can be done about it because it’s in the past. Can we go back to when things were simple and carefree? I would really love that.
- I am really sorry for being disrespectful to you in the past, and for all the trouble I’ve caused around the house and with my behaviour. Any punishment you want to give me, I accept it. And I will try my best to never do it again.
Apology Letter to Dad for Being Disrespectful
- Dear Dad, I don’t really write letters very often so I hope this one finds you well. I’m sorry for the disrespect that I have shown you in the past. Sincerely, your son.
- I am so sorry for all of the times I have been disrespectful to you. Over my lifetime I have said hurtful things that have caused much pain to you. Even though I can’t take back what has been said, it has still hurt you deeply and in every way possible. I wish I could take all the pain away, but I know only time will help you forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me when I needed someone most. You are an amazing father and teacher.
- Dad, I’m so sorry for the way that I have treated you these past few years. I have been nothing but mean to you, even though you have treated me amazingly well. You have never given up on me or let me stop believing in myself. Just know that I am so grateful for everything that you do and that I respect you more than anyone in the world. Thank you so much, Dad!
- I’m writing you this letter because I deeply regret my disrespectful behaviour towards you. When I was younger, I used to think that being disrespectful would get me more freedom, but now as an adult, I no longer think that. While it may have been easier to just be disrespectful and run wild out in the streets, it wasn’t worth it. Growing up, you did the best you could and gave me what you felt was right. I love you so much.
- Dad, I wanted to tell you that I am sorry for my behaviour lately. It is not fair how I act and treat you sometimes. Growing up in a family with kids older than me and younger than me, it is hard to balance what you do for them all sometimes. I feel like the only one who sometimes gets put on the back burner. Dad, you are important to me too and I sometimes forget that you are still my parent. I hope this has not caused too much damage between us.
- I would like to apologize for all the disrespect and dishonesty I have shown. I hope that we can move forward with our relationship in a positive way. It was wrong of me to not fulfil my end of our agreement. I want you to know I appreciate all that you have done for me, and as I grow up, I will understand my responsibility as a man of this family to finish doing it.
- We’ve both said this plenty of times before, but I’ll say it again. I love you! No matter what has happened, you have always been there for me. When I was a kid you were my hero and I wanted to be just like you. Now I look up to you as a friend more than anything because we are so similar in ways. I couldn’t ask for a better person to call my father.
- I’m sorry that I wasn’t a perfect daughter. I am sorry for the times I gave you attitude, the times I was selfish. I am sorry for acting like a child instead of an adult. You are the greatest father and I just want to let you know how much I appreciate everything you have done for me and how much you mean to me.
- I’m sorry I made you upset when I acted out. I love you and I know you love me too. I will not act that way again.
- Dear Dad, I’m sorry for being disrespectful to you. I don’t think I realized what an effect it was having on you, but now that I see it, I feel terrible. You are such a great role model and have helped me turn out to be such a nice guy. You are the sweetest man I know and deserve better treatment than me. I love you so much and am so happy you’re my Dad!
- Dad, I’m sorry for being disrespectful to you. I know I always have a bad attitude but I never mean to be disrespectful. I love you very much.
- Hi Dad, I hope this finds you doing well. I am writing to you with much love and apologies. It’s been a while since we last talked and we’ve had our ups and downs in terms of the way we treat each other. I know that I can be disrespectful to you sometimes when I speak to you. And there were times when you treated me just as bad.
- I’m really sorry for the way I’ve been treating you lately. I know you probably feel like we don’t have the best relationship right now. Don’t give up on me! I promise to change my behaviour and be a respectful, loving and caring son. You are the best dad in the world, who has always supported me and loved me unconditionally. You are my rock and my biggest fan; there is no one else like you.
- Dad, I am so sorry for disrespecting you when you told me off for being too loud. I do not want to argue with you about how it is. I promise to listen and to be more respectful the next time I speak to you. Please forgive me. I love you.
- I’m sorry for being disrespectful to you. From a young age, I didn’t listen and do as I was told. I hope you can forgive me and love your stubborn son like you always have.
- I love you dad and I miss your guidance. I got a dishonourable discharge from the military, but it was in no way your fault. I realize that now, so don’t be sad anymore. I am ready to come home and live with you again when the time is right, but for now, I will focus on fixing my life and making myself happy.
- I’m sorry for being disrespectful towards you. I know you didn’t deserve the way I was acting. And to be honest it really wasn’t fair to you. I wish I could go back and change everything, but that I can’t do. But what I can do is tell you that I’m not going to act like that again.
- I am writing this letter to sincerely apologize for my recent actions. As you know, I am your only daughter and I know how much this family means to you. For the last week and a half, I have been on a bad path and it has affected everyone in our family, so much so that it has even reached beyond the borders of our family too! I am sure you have heard many things about what’s going on with me and this is exactly why I’m writing. Forgive me for everything, dad.
- I know you are disappointed by how I act sometimes, but I am trying to be better. I want you to see that I do care and love you. You’re always helping me and teaching me new things, so thank you for that. I’ve said it before, but I really mean it, this has been the best year of my life!
- I would like to apologize for the way I acted before. I didn’t mean what I said, I was angry and upset and just lashing out at the world around me. I really do appreciate how hard you work to put food on the table, clothes on our backs and keep us warm in the winter. Please accept this gift with love and know that I love you very much!
