Dad,
I've been out of the hospital for quite a few months now, and I started talking with a therapist. She told me that maybe part of why I'm so angry is because I'm still writing to you. I'm letting myself feel these things by keeping you in my life.
This will be my last letter for a while.
Theo is taking me to karate lessons to turn my anger into somethings constructive. He told me that he loves me and hates seeing me like this.
Him and Mom got married last week. I feel like I have a real dad again.-Anthony
