I Need to Vent

My dad sent me a letter from prison. It's basically just an apology for all the horrible stuff he did to me and my mum.

I have mixed feelings about the letter. But what they are, I can't tell. There sadness, anger and everything inbetween swirling around in my head.

I've been pacing back and forth in my room for a little over an hour thinking about it. I can't forgive him, nor can I forget.

My head is just a mess. This good flow I've had going is just gone now

One letter can't erase years of abuse, that's for sure.

@KingofPizza2 ain't that the truth. Nor can a prison sentence. I don't know what he hopes to achieve

@Aigis I mean, if it's the beginning of a sustained, consistent and long-term effort on his part, then... maybe? But, that's quite the rarity.

@KingofPizza2 I don't know. I'm not even sure I should write back. He gets out in a few years. I'd sort of come to terms with the fact I'd never see him again
