Nicoleflynn, this is why I want to write this letter. Just to get it out. I know my father, mother or brother will ever admit they were and still are wrong.

Leed- I know I will never have a close relationship with either of my parents. More so, I just need them to know.

I'm sure that my father would use it as fodder, rant and rave and tell lies to everyone else in the family, and wait for me to hear it all from someone else and smile at the "lesson" he taught me. Because that's how he does it.

Novvita, this is what I am afraid of. My father is the same way. My mother on the other hand is silent and will never speak of it probably. She listens to my father and only him. I'm scared of the backlash I could get from it.
Gosh, I just don't know what to do. You all had good points to consider.
Thank you.
