Dear Mother

They say we don’t write letters anymore, but I hope this letter finds you.

You left me on the wayside like garbage for my father to find me. 

You left me there like I was trash,

Unwanted, unworthy of love.

You left me there not thinking of me, but solely thinking of you. 

How can you call yourself a mother?

A mother of heartbreak and abandonment?

A mother that left her child to go through physical, verbal and emotional abuse?

A mother that never protected her child from pedophiles.

What type of mother allows her daughter to be left in a household where she was robbed of her innocence?

 A mother that lives at knee city, A mother that prays, but never stays. 

A mother that wants to be like Jesus but never utters the words “I love you?”

A mother that I am so angry at.

A mother that never shows up for the important events in my life. 

A mother that never apologizes. 

A mother that didn’t fight hard enough for me. 

A mother that I do not love. (Rept. 3)

A mother, a mother, a mother, but not a mom. 

Sincerely,

Your broken child.

To be free of it I learned to just give away put it in the trash so to speak
the thing about weight is the longer you carry it the intense the burden
it took me 40 yrs to stop hating my father and to forgive him for my happiness!
