Yours Sincerely: Anonymous

Dear Noel

Dear Noel (my dad),

I don't know what to say to you you have hurt me in so many ways I just can't wrap my head around what I did to deserve the treatment I get from you, you know when I was younger I thought there could never be a better man but now, I don't even know you I don't recognize you anymore my heart aches at the sight of you but I don't feel guilty anymore, you have hurt me so much there's this saying "drunk words are sober thoughts" I guess I understand now. I feel so trapped I don't know how to tell you because I know how this thing goes, I try to explain to you how I feel and you say it's all my fault and victimize yourself I admit I'm not a perfect person but I don't think I'm that unbearable that you have to be off your head drunk to even be in the same house as me, my dad is long gone he's been replaced by a man I don't even know now. There's so much I want to say but I can't put it into words the last thing I will say is, next time you ask why I'm distant to you look in the mirror,

Your 'darling' daughter.
