Dear Dad

Dear Dad;
I�m writing to you not to tell you I miss you
but to ask you how you're doing
do you miss us
do you regret what you did to us?
are you haunted by the abuse you placed on my sister and my shoulders?
how could you have done such abuse to your daughters?
ill ask again do you regret what you did?
i dont, because now that im past the denial, anger and depression
im accepting it.
what you did to me did not make me fall and crumble
it made me stronger and made me realise im worth something
you may think you taught me a valuable lesson
and I did but you didn�t mean to teach it to me
dad my whole life I wonder why you left
and wished you come back
but now I am positive I hope you never come back
I want you to be locked away where no one will have to worry
I�m not going to say I hate you but I am certainly not going to say I love you.
As a dad I cant respect you for what you did as a person I wish nothing of you
I just want to know that you are gone forever
and sometimes i want to forgive you and run to you but im not ever going to do that.
i am however forgiving you.
not because i think you deserve it but because its the right thing
i should not have to carry your burden on my shoulders because of it
what you did was not okay it was far from okay
but i forgive you just never come near me, please just go away.
