Dear Mom & Dad...
Dear Mom & Dad,
I can't take it anymore. I'm emotionally exhausted with living under the same roof as you two. Your unhappy, unloving-nature affects me everyday...even when I was a child. I'm tired of being your disappointment. I'm tired of being your reason for staying in a marriage. I'm just sick of being your daughter. The way you two act towards each other and to me has left my heart feeling cold. Fortunately, I have beautiful people in my life to love me more than you two will ever show in a lifetime. In all honesty, I can say that I don't love you, Mom and Dad. The fact that you rarely say you love me, show any signs of affection, and say anything comforting has made me think that you just don't give a damn. Do you two even know that I was in a state of depression in high school? Wonder why? It's because of your hurtful words, the way Mom cried when there was nothing else to make her happy, the way Dad avoided looking at me when I disappointed him...the way I felt when I came to the conclusion that I was truly alone. Although our family life has been polluted with negativity, you two did teach me one good lesson...
...You taught me how not to be. Thank you, Mom & Dad.
Your daughter by blood and nothing more,
Yoonhee
