I don't know if I'll send a letter like this to my Grandaddy, but if he asks I'm going to say it....

Something along these lines

I appreciate all the good memories I made with you when I was small, but knowing now all the terrible things you did and said to my mom

and that you keep doing.

I can't see you the same way anymore. After reading this, you'll probably think she's been pouring poison in my ear but actually I'm just not sheltered from it anymore.

I can't see you anymore. Not because my mom said anything but because I don't want to

There's just so much on my mind I can't even say it all

Keep the door open a crack. People do change.

It's not easy for some to change though. So don't expect it.

I'm ostracized from the family. Yet that door is open to any just a crack. Just in case someone changes.

@DeWayfarer sure, I believe people can. But he's an old old man. And he's been at this since my mom was a kid.

I hope your family will come around though

@caPnAhab I'm 66 myself and I am the youngest sibling! 🙃

The door is still cracked.
