The Letter

by ~*Native*Mami*~   Jan 19, 2005


This is a letter to my biological father...

Why do I love you? This is one question I don't think Ill ever find the answer to. All you've ever done in my life is screw it up or try to make up for it by buying me things. I need you to know that you are not my father and that you never will be. My love can not be bought, it must be earned and you have not done that. I used to think that I loved you, but now I know that its just not true. I despise you with such a passion that its difficult to describe with just words. You were never there for me, especially when I needed you. I had a father, Darryl, he was there for me but was taken away by my mother. Now I'm left with no father and it breaks my heart everyday to know that you chose another woman, over me, your only daughter. You've hurt me before but now you'll never have the chance to hurt me again. I don't want, or need you in my life, I will make it on my own. Obviously you and mom weren't ready for the commitment of a child but I never asked for this. I'm going to make my life great, and leave you and my mother, completely out of it. I don't love you, your not my father, stay out of my life.
No longer yours,
Erika Lynn

~*Although this has never been sent to him, I hope one day I'll have the courage to say it to his face and make him realize what hes missing out on! Tell me what you think...*~
