Dear "You"...From "Me"-Letters Unsent

Post Reply New Topic

Dear mom,

I know you had a frustrating day trying to get ahold of the right people in order to get a refill on one of my meds, but seriously, it was not okay for you to suggest that you think the reason my dog has an ear infection is because I neglect his care to the point t it could be considered abuse and he might be taken away from me. The reason he has an ear infection is because he's a poodle and therefore quite prone to them - I could clean his ears five times every day, and it would still probably happen occasionally. You know that when we first got him, we were told that he's particularly prone to ear infections even for a poodle, and you also know that I do a plenty good job of blaming myself for everything without you doing it, too (but then again, how did I get the idea in the first place that everything must somehow be my fault? From constantly being told so/having it assumed that it was as a kid. Why should I expect things to be any different now?). You also know that I deeply love my dog, and nothing could ever make me even consider abusing any animal. This is the person who catches wasps in a container to let them go outside, moves worms off of the sidewalk so they don't dry out, and thinks it's adorable when ants clean themselves, for goodness' sake - how could you think it's even remotely possible that I'm abusing my dog?! I take better care of him than I do of myself! And just so you know, I was doing pretty well with not having very strong urges to make myself bleed for the past few weeks, but what you said was enough to bring that back full force - so thanks for that.

Haven't heard from you for a while. I know you have a tendency to disappear for lengths of time. But still I hope you are alright.

Dear World,
Yes I know that dads are supposed to be parental figures just like mums.
Mine isn't. Mine can't be either. It's his mental illness and I suspect his mental age is low. He's been like a little brother to me since I was about twelve.
I'm trying to be friends with him in spite of this but stop imagining that he's got good advice and is advising me well. All he wants me to do is lie in bed or on the sofa and watch TV all day long like he does.
Also quit judging me because I don't work for money. I can afford not to and I'm on benefit and it caused me a mental breakdown last time I tried the conventional lifestyle.

Dear Dad,
I agree that you don't have to go out and get a job to be worthwhile. In fact, I'm glad you do anything. I'm proud of you for still being here. But please, occasionally do something other than church, radio and TV. Just call up a friend from church and play checkers or something.
Also, yes. My art and writing are 'worth it'. I like to be productive and I feel the need to write and draw and create. Actually I wish you'd get back into your painting again.
Me

Dear dad,

Thanks for using power saws right next to me as a kid without teaching me about hearing protection, because you didn't care to know about it either. You don't need to worry about me someday forgetting you when you're gone, you'll always be there in the ringing in my ears.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Regardless of faith, I want to wish everyone happy holidays and all the best for the new year I'll be busy with cooking, baking and church for the next few days but I hope everyone finds serenity and hope in the festive season. None of us are alone because it's clear we all have each other, through good times and bad. That's what Christmas is all about!

Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël and Feliz Navidad,




Isabella

Thanks, Isabella.

And you too...and your family.

A very sweet message, indeed.

I think I might be falling in love with you... uh oh!

To the object of Hurtloam's affection , hope you bought a nice Xmas pressie for her.

Merry and Happy Holidays to everybody on WrongPlanet!

Thank you, Isabella and Kraftie for the nice wishes!

I wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope 2019 will be a good one for all of us!

To my favorite tennis players, Rafael, Roger and Denis,

May you have a healthy and successful 2019 on the ATP tour!

Dear You,

This morning, there were 132 messages from you in my email, none of which have I read -- because any message from you gets routed directly to the trash bin (I've already emptied it). So whine, cry, rant and rave all you want, it won't make any difference. You may as well scream into the Void.

Sincerely,

Me.

Dear secret WP crush,

I love your postings. Soon as i am able, I will pm you. Or you can pm me.

Oh wait. Secret crush. You don't know.

Sigh.

Dear Boss,

You are pretty cool.


Me.

dear k~,

a week ago, you were telling me you love me, and how i'm the greatest thing to come to your life in a long time, and how much your family loves me and thinks i'll be around for years to come. why do you say s**t like that if you plan on breaking it off by text a week later, albeit with an unbelievable excuse? if that was really how you felt, you had every opportunity to approach me and talk with me like an adult about it. you and i have never had any issue communicating in person, i've never raised my voice at you, got defensive or hostile in anyway. you're welcome to lie about it, but all our mutual friends know my character - and fact is, you spent so much time telling me how they're all bad people anyway, because that's what you do. you talk down about everyone around you to feel better about your bad life. either way, you wouldn't have, because we both know your excuse was just to cover up the real excuse, the fact that you're still in love with your ex.

i'm sorry you were dealt such a bad hand. i wouldn't wish the things that happened to you on my worst enemy. but that doesn't excuse or give you any right to mistreat people or treat me the way you did. you are an awful, vile, manipulative woman and i hope to god you learn from this and grow up fast, because you won't get very far in life if you think it's okay to treat people the way you do.

please make no effort to contact me again for any reason, you will never deserve a second chance.

love always,
