The following is a compilation of everything, in a nutshell, that I feel towards my parents. I mean I'll skip over the little little stuff, but yeah. And after that, a letter I'm going to Email them regarding said topic.
That kicks ass brother. I would say a few words of warning though.
From all indications your parents aren't totally rational people, and no one person can be. Remember that people in positions of power routinely abuse that power. I shouldn't need to tell you that. If they read this letter they may not have the right to get angry afterward, but I can almost guarantee they will.
I spent some time in jail for a crime I didn't commit (the trial is still to come.) I routinely beat against my cell doors in desperate pleas for my release. It didn't work. I got out at almost the exact moment I gave up my fight. I was over 18 at the time. I was routinely beaten while in jail despite the fact I never hurt an officer, and I only made a threatening face once to the best of my knowledge. At one point I got myself so badly stuck in the three point restraints they forced me into that I honestly believed (it felt like I knew it at the time, really) that I was going to lose my foot from the ankle down that day. A corrections officer came in and taught me a lesson as I screamed for help. He said, "No, I am not letting you out. Why do you do this to yourself?"
"Because I want out," I replied
"Well I'm not letting you out, because you will just beat on the door if I do."
"I didn't do anything wrong though."
"Why did you beat on the door then?"
"Because I could"
"Do you still think it's a good idea to beat on doors just because you can?"
"No."
"Well, we'll see what happens."
You are doing time for crimes you didn't commit. Think about whether you want to beat on this cell door before you do it. I understand you. Let experience be your guide, but I hope for your sake you listen to me now because it isn't exactly safe to test it on this level.
