Letter 3: My parents.
Dear Mom,
I want you to know that I'm not like your previous two kids; I'm not perfect. In fact I'm far from it. I may not get straight A's but it's not like I get F's. I usually get B's, and that's still above average, so you should be happy. I'm sorry I have friends and a social life, unlike your son, and that it's an inconvenience for you. I know you've been having a hard time with the divorce and then your dad's death, but you shouldn't take it out on me. Just because dad's not around to yell at anymore doesn't mean you have to yell at me. I know it doesn't always seem like it, but i love you, and I appreciate everything you do for me. I know I would be lost without you.(: Even though sometimes I don't like what you do or say I know you're just trying to do what's best for me. You're my mommy, and that's what mommies do.
--Noley.
Dear Dad,
I'm disappointed that you would cheat on mom, but I could tell you guys weren't happy. I feel the only reason you guys stayed together so long was us kids, and if that's the truth then thank you. You guys got divorced like three years ago, and I'm over it, but I never really talked about it, so I thought I would let you know what I was feeling. I inherited my stubbornness from you, so when we have fights there usually isn't a winner.(: I love you, and I know you're just trying to protect me. You're my daddy, and I'll always be your little girl.
--Noley.
