Am I too harsh?
I just sent this to my dad. I mean every word of it. I hope I wasn't too harsh. I burnt the house down and there's no going back.
I was fortunate to spend the day with one of my brothers today. Always lovely to see them, but reminiscing is difficult.
I understand that your wife had an illness that made life hell for us. But. There was nothing wrong with you. No illness, no bad upbringing.
Just a man who was too fucking afraid of his own wife to stand up for his children. You let your eldest son be homeless at 15. You can claim to have forgotten it all or that it was not true. I was there. I was a witness. I will NEVER forget it.
I know you love God. I know that you believe that you'll be taken to heaven. There's a life review there. You will have to watch what your inaction did to your children. And god bless your soul while that reel plays.
Good luck explaining to God or Jesus how you stood by and let that happen to us.
I used to idolize you. Because you didn't beat or berate us. Or throw things at us. Now I understand that you were the more evil of the two of you because you allowed it to happen. You only cared about yourself.
May you be granted all the peace in heaven that we were granted here on earth.
Do not send cards here anymore. They have all the sincerity of a man who fucked his children over. May your mother kick your ass in heaven.
Good luck with that life review thing. It's gonna be a rough one.
You cannot hide behind illness. You can only live in the shame that is deserved of a person who let their children be abused.
You'll probably have forgotten about this, but your wife sold your son to a farmer for a whole summer. At the end of the summer, he made $75.00. How much did your wife make for his labor?
How could you let this happen to us? You have made a mockery of everything that your ancestors stood for.
There's no forgiveness for someone who allowed such cruelty to their children. You should have maned the FUCK up.
How does it feel to have three of four children who want nothing to do with you? Did God give you really bad children or did God give your children really bad parents?
Do you have other friends who have the same problem? I seriously doubt it.
You deserve every lonely minute you have coming.
