Is it ever too late to apologize?

Is it ever too late to apologize?
I've been away from home now for a couple of years at college and realized I treated my mother and step father horribly while I was growing up.
My father passed when I was eleven and he meant the world to me and I was devastated by his loss. Well, two years later my mother met, fell in love, and married my stepfather who I immediately detested.
He was a good man who treated my mother well and tried to be a dad to me. I know now they didn't deserve the grief I dished out to both of them.
I would like to visit on Mother's Day and apologize for being such a brat, but after all this time would it be too late?
I would appreciate some advice because I'm really nervous about apologizing to them. Thank you.

No. I think it's never too late to apologise and try to fix things (unless the person has passed away). You've grown as a person and realised your mistakes, and I think they will appreciate your apology. Just stay calm and be sincere with your apology.

Best of luck, hope it all goes well! 🤞🏻

Sometimes it can be, but I think for you it won't be to late to apologise.

in my opinion go for it. It takes courage to do something like that, and hopefully it will mean something to them. Good luck.

If you are saying thanks, it really means you really are sorry. Hopefully they will understand you, good luck

I am and I'm hopeful they will accept the apology.
