Dear Dad,
Dear Dad,
I have finally come to terms with you and the abuse you put me through as a child, but now it is your turn to admit to your wrong doings. We both know you have been lying to yourself and your children for years as you have tried to deny any and all of the sexual, physical, and mental abuse you put me through. How can you ever expect to find salvation and peace of mind until you admit to your wrong doings? How can you live every day of your life in denial of the things you did to me? All these years, we have both pushed these memories and thoughts to the back of our minds, but now I have done my part and it is time for you to do the same. What you did was wrong, but it is the past, and all i can ask of you now is that you stop denying all of those years of your life. I don't know what you convince yourself of, but it is time for you to admit to me and yourself that you were very much in the wrong in the things you did to me as a child.
While naturally i harbor bad feelings for all of those years, my journey across the country helped to put my mind at ease. I know deep down inside of you, you must feel pain and remorse for the things you've done, but the first step to helping those feelings is to admit that those events really did happen. For your sake, Dad, please stop denying your past. Now is the time for you to do what you should've down years ago, and admit that you were not a good father or person to your family. You will never find your peace through denial. Admittance is your first step towards salvation.
Your daughter,
Angela.
