Dad,
All I ever wanted from you was love. I wanted you to act like my dad and be around and get rid of the boogeyman in my nightmares.
I still have nightmares.
I'm always alone, searching for something I've lost. It's always just out of reach.
Everything that's gone wrong in my life all comes back to you.
It's your fault I'm like this. You made me hate everything about myself.
Sometimes I can't get out of bed in the morning, and I've lost twenty pounds.
Life sucks, and I blame it all on you.
-Anthony
