Family

This is a letter to my single mom, so I guess that makes this a letter to my mom, dad, best friend, hero, and my greatest supporter.

First off, I want to say thank you. Thank you both. You both raised me to be the wonderful person and everyday I'm seeing more and more of each of you in me. Second of all I want to say that I love you both. I know I don't say that nearly enough but I really do. Mom, It wasn't easy for us when I was growing up. We never did see eye to eye on much of anything. I actually resented you. I want to first start out for apologizing. I'm sorry for slamming doors in your face and telling you I hate you. I'm sorry for all the times I lied to you so I could go out and party. I'm sorry for sneaking out and causing you more stress than you deserved. But most of all, I'm sorry for letting out relationship get so bad. I also want to let you know that I forgive you. I forgive you for leaving my...

To say I'll never talk to nor see you again would be lie. I'm sure I'll get back to you in time and I'm friends with your brother so I'm sure I'll see you around. I'd like to tell you how I feel but it never matters because whatever I say to you is turned around on me to be made my fault. I truly thought we'd be best friends forever, but the more you stab me in the back and the more I've let you, the more I become depressed. Often times I feel like your mother, like I'm responsible for you and I'm not. I'm just one big disposable vehicle to you. I think this was the final time I let you stab me in the back, where you won't get away with it. I don't understand what your problem is, all I know is it started with your first boyfriend and how I wasn't good enough because I didn't have a dick...

Just to start off, i want to thank you for all that you have done for me. if it wasn't for you, i don't know where i would be right now. you cherished me and loved me, but throughout the years, you have made me learn more and more that i want to be nothing like you or my family. Dad, you have always made it to where i have gotten what I've needed. when i was younger i wanted nothing but for mom and you to get back together. that was my one wish. to me it was hard seeing you with a new woman and mom a new man every month and i was only 8 or 9.. The day i moved in with you i thought my world was going to flip and be so much better, but it didn't. my world got worse. Your new wife would verbally, emotionally and physically abuse me, yet you would turn the other check. i thought you were...

Well where do I start.. I needed to find an outlet for every feeling I am currently harbouring towards you; I need to get this out before the clock strikes midnight so that this new year isn't weighted with any negative feelings at all. I'd like to start by thanking you, yes THANKING YOU. These thanks are all related to our beautiful child who has been my backbone since you started your torrent of abuse; she is the only reason I have carried on and for that I thank you. You helped me to make my saving grace, the saving grace that you have now decided that you don't want anymore; claiming that she's now all mine. Well I'll tell you what, she deserves the total world, if you don't want to be a part of that world that is fine. But don't dare think you will creep back into her life later...

Your life hasn’t changed at all, has it? You come over for an hour on a Saturday, and then you’re off to go do something with your friends. Your ignorant comments have made this apparent to me. You have no idea what it means to constantly make sacrifices for someone other than yourself. When you slept all night in the bathtub at the birth center, and then had trouble waking up in the morning; when you said, “I’m glad we were able to get at least a little bit of sleep” – Did you know that I was up all night, trying to figure out how to take care of my new baby? On our second night home when you asked if I could skype you, and told me that I could “go to bed” afterward – Did you know that I couldn’t just “go to bed?” Did you know that babies wake up every three hours to eat, and that...

I am blessed. I didn't think I could find a man so good to me. I cried and cried after my 4-year on and off relationship finally ended. I didn't realize how toxic it really was. I did deserve better. I just didn't know when it was going to happen,when I was finally going to meet "the one". Fast foward about two years,I came across you through a mutual friend. I have never met a man as great as you. You would cross the ocean for me,I know, because you did. I want to thank you for the many months we have shared so far and all the kind things you do for me. Thank you for always supporting me. Thank you for always listening. Thank you for always sharing and communicating. Thank you for being honest and loyal. Thank you for being mature. Thank you for making me laugh....

Dear Sekou, Simply saying I love you isn’t enough to express how I feel about being your father. However, it’s exactly how I feel. I grew in love with you from the moment I found out you were in your mother’s womb. I grew in love because I knew that you would be a great addition to the world we live in. I knew that inside of you was something special, even magical. As your fingers and toes formed inside your mother’s belly, a new space was being created inside my heart, just for you. It’s a sacred space from which comes the deepest, most pure love: a father’s love. Not only do I love you as my son, but I love you as the divine gift and human being you are. You are the purest part of me and your mother wrapped in beautiful brown skin, a dazzling smile and a golden spirit that...

To you, my loving siblings. There are so many ways in which you have built me into the person I am today. From the day I was born until now, you have been there for me every single day of my life. Let's remember that's 18 years. I know not everyone likes to have a younger sibling because we're annoying (not sure where everyone gets that from but I suppose it could be true) but I look up to you more than you think. You have made an example of yourselves for me, and though some of your choices weren't the best, I take the good and apply it to my own life. Having older siblings means: •you don't get the last piece of pizza •you are obligated to tattle on them •you get almost whatever you want •you get to do things that they didn't get to when they were your age...

Dear Parents, Let's get this out of the way right now: I don't have human children, and I don't know exactly how you feel. However, I'm not trying to speak as a parent. I'm writing this letter as a child (and student) of divorce. Now, I know divorce is hard. I know it represents the death of a dream. I know it can turn your family upside-down and your friends against you. I know it leaves you with a loss of identity and a lot of unanswered questions. And I know that, as a parent, you feel a tremendous sense of guilt. In a way, your guilt is admirable. It means you're taking your job as a parent seriously. And what I'm about to say might come as a surprise... But... um... stop it. We live in a culture that thrives on shame, blame and other negativities. We're taught to believe...
