Because of you, I spent more time in a
counselor's office than I did in class.
Because of you, I had to watch my mother cry night after night.
Because of you, I developed serious self esteem issues.
Because of you, I felt worthless and unloved.
Because of you, I almost ended my life.
And even though I spent my childhood
walking on eggshells for you, I just wanted to say
I love you, and
I forgive you
This
isn't for you, it's for me.
But because of you, and the love you showed me and the hard work you put into trying
to make things better I think I can move
on.
And that is the best thing you've
ever done for me.
