Letter to an Abuser


Letter to an Abuser:


You're false and manipulative and crazy-making.
You build nothing.

You just tear down and destroy.

You've cursed and beaten me

 and blamed me for the abuse.

You’ve succeeded in replacing respect with fear

in your tightly controlled world.

Others, at least for a while, think that you're great when you are not.

I spend way too much time trying to figure out why you're so messed up.

You're weak and pretend to be strong.

You're self-pitying.

Nothing is your fault but you make

everyone around you miserable.

You don’t listen to anyone but yourself.

I have never felt this way about another human being.

I must forgive you so I can be free of you.

And so I do.
