First off, I don’t think me calling you Dad would be appropriate, since you haven’t been one to me in years, so I’ll just go ahead and call you what I call you in my own head: the most selfish, idiotic, pathetic excuse for a human that I’ve ever had the misfortune to know. You’re a bully and a coward, that’s all you’ve ever been and all you ever will be. Growing up, you were the bigger kid in school who beat up on all the smaller kids yet somehow never got in trouble for it, and at age 50 that’s still exactly what you are. Just so you know, I think it’s the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen.
I know you think that me leaving is a temporary thing, so let’s set the record straight here. I am NEVER coming back. You will never see me again. You are never going to see me get married, you are never going to meet your grandchildren. You know why?? Because actions have consequences. All you are is a spoiled child who never had to learn that lesson, but soon you’re going to. Honestly, you’re lucky as hell that you got all the time that you did with me and my siblings. Considering that if I’d told Child Services the truth about where all the bruises on me came from, when they showed up to question me at my school that day in 5th grade, we would all have been taken away faster than you can say “karma.” Just saying. You should consider yourself blessed that at one time I was dumb enough to lie for you, or else your life would have been completely ruined a long time ago.
Not that karma doesn’t catch up to you eventually, of course. All of your children have left you as soon as they turned 18, just as I so happily did a few years back, and you don’t know this yet but Mom’s about to leave you too. Last week, when she called me, she had just gotten off the phone with a divorce lawyer. You’re gonna fucking die alone, and every single nail in your coffin is there because YOU put it there. Congratulations, you have completely distanced yourself from everybody who has ever cared about you.
Sincerely,
won’t say i told you so.
