Letters To Daddy
Written by Jenni Bailey
You had a way of making me feel I needed to apologize to you…I guess it was the control piece in you…but for me, it wasn’t built for control, it was truly because I love you, and respected you enough to apologize, because I truly felt I did something wrong each time! What bothered me the most, was the number of letters I wrote to apologize, and NOT ONE LETTER FROM YOU, EVER! I got a call from you…lecturing me! Not one thank you came from you. Satan might as well come from his dwelling and yell at me for things, because you two are the same.
I eventually stopped writing you letters, because I was tired of not getting anything back. I also began to realize the culprit of my anger wasn’t a separate entity, it was you! You never appreciated my letters, anyway! Those letters to you were honest and genuine…but as I’ve learned…slowly…so is your anger towards me, your daughter! Those letters should’ve been Goodbye letters…It’s your own demons that make you angry…not me.
