I will keep trying, even if the letter causes a confrontation. Do I point out to her the abuse and carrying on her step-father made me endure? Do I point out that every last dime I earned went to running a household without assistance from her step-father. Do I point out the behavior I witnessed first hand with 20 year olds? Do I point out he kept meeting up with girls he met online? Do I point out he was carrying on with his (then) girlfriend before I moved on?

I just have such vindictive thoughts towards him and blame him so much for what went on and the hurt he continues to inflict - and the fact she is a 'pawn' in his behaviour.

But no, I shall keep the letter simply to informing her I am hurt, that I feel like a second class citizen, and my wishes to be included.
