Dani_California Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Dad, I’m writing to let you know I’ve forgiven you. I used to loathe you. I wished that mom would divorce you, but each morning I woke, I saw you reading the newspaper. I used to dread coming home from school. I sat in my room all day, hoping you wouldn’t come find me. I thought if I pretended not to exist, you wouldn’t look for me. So many times you made me feel worthless. But I’ve forgiven you. It’s been over three years since you left and it’s taken me a long time to get to this point. It’s taken countless alcoholic bottles, several scars along my arms, stomach and legs, various calls to drug dealers for multiple pills, and, most importantly, hours of breakdown with feelings of hate and love. But, Dad, I’m finally writing to let you know I won’t let you hinder me any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metrogirl Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain. No one should ever hate their parent, nor fear them. I hope you are doing well now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
