with the holidays coming up, i let my emotions get the best of me. i have decided to write my estranged father. a little background info: im 21. he mvoed out when i was 9. before that, he was a very abusive man to my siblings, mother, and me. my siblings sometimes contact him, and know that he is a drug addict on the brink of suicide. ive held a grudge for so long, but i know if he did die, id be devastated and probably never forgive myself. so ive decided to write him a letter for christmas. in this letter, i want to make a few points. one being that i love him. another being that i want to work on our relationship someday but that im working on mine now. and i do want to tell him to clean his act up. do you have any ideas/suggestions on what to say or how to say it? is it beyond my limits to tell him to clean up? i really have no idea and id rather not tell my family to ask them for help because theyd be critical and what not. any help is so appreciated! thanks!
