Sorry this is a little late. My dad went to prison for abusing me and I sent him a letter shortly after he went in. I basically vented all my feelings, anger, grief, guilt, etc, then I posed a list of questions for him to answer. I felt like I could do it because I knew he was powerless. The letter was very aggressive. What I got back from him was weak, rambling, deflecting. He didn't apologize or answer my questions.
Just wanted to share that. He was still my dad so I felt guilty emasculating him but it was something I needed to do. This letter is for you, so you need to free yourself of any guilt or fear. Pretend like he's in prison and he can't get to you.
