Dear Dad,
Lets go back. Please. Way back.
You married my mother after destroying her education by having a child, having me, at an age too young for the both of you.
While she was pregnant with me, you hurt her. You hurt me!
Luckily, I was not damaged. I am a bright, and strong young lady.
No thanks to you.
You lived with us for quite some time, but I never saw much of you, you were always working. But hey, when you are in the military, you do have a job to do. When I did see you, it was never for us to have time with each other.
You hit my mom. I watched. I cried. I screamed at you.
It hurt. She was hurt. We were hurt.
What was wrong with us? We did everything you wanted us to do. Why was it never enough?
I remember for a birthday, you came in after the cake was already gone, gave me a stupid little card with a bear, and left. LEFT. No happy birthday to your daughter.
Nothing.
My mother was strong. She was brave enough to leave you. Thank God.
You followed us though. Stalked us down.
Hurt us some more.
Why did you not understand when enough was enough?!
Three years ago. It happened again.
You came over, and we got into an argument like always.
This time. You took it too far.
You grabbed my hair, and punched me.
You busted my head open. Left bruises in my head and face.
I called the cops. Filed a case.
I hope you go to jail.
You've hurt us for too long.
Love, Olivia, the daughter you said you 'disown'.
