Beautifully written. At the very least, it should serve to make the person think about things.

I tried for years to say almost exactly what you have here, to one of my own parents. Unfortunately, I lack your gift with words and last year it ended up permanently unresolved... Cancer, and heart problems, wait for nothing.

thank you ♥

oh no :-( Have you considered writing the letter anyway, and sending it off by burning it?

[wolfmare]

I wrote so many letters over the years, and did just that... I never had the nerve to actually give any of them. Maybe I will again soon, just for my own sake.

I think this letter is very honest without being aggressive or rude. I hope M takes it in the spirit intended.

Your letter is very powerful! It is honest, open, factual, filled with emotion without being emotional. I am not into labels, but having to deal with individuals that are/were close to me, blood and non-blood, the character you described is that of a "dry-drunk" and the "adult child of an alcoholic". Those little factoids change nothing. You are exhibiting healthy detachment. Bravo!

mmm, yeah. Not so dry anymore though :-/

thank you! *hugs*

Well written, and very moving. I hope your bioparent will take these words in and act upon them.
