Roly polies are more cool than fairies
The trick is to see the world as it is, and to embrace it. There are no fairies, but the roly-polies that found shelter in the fairy houses are themselves incredibly intricate and in their own way beautiful animals. Life doesn't need to be full of fairies to be still full of child-like wonder.
As the first poster here noticed, there are probably serious, difficult issues that go beyond what a few words here can affect. I feel a lot of sadness, perhaps recognizing a part of myself in the letter. All I can say is don't get hung up on fairies and other pretty things. There are other treasures in this life. They often come with an awareness of pain and sorrow as well as beauty and joy. But they do not feel empty or need to be altered by lies. And they are all around us.
