Dear Dad,
I'm sure that you have already decided that this is somehow you fault. I'm telling you right now, it isn't. Not even a little. You're the best dad a girl could ask for. Sure I didn't make it easy, but you were always there. Now that I've cleared that up, I guess I should tell you why this happened. Mom made everything worse of course. Always putting me down and beating me... That's probably where it all started. Even after that mess, things didn't just magically get better. I guess I should've told you but I couldn't do it. All the people at school, along with the stress of it all. It became too much and I started freaking out. Even my best friend couldn't help me anymore. I always wanted to make you proud but I guess this is really letting you down. I'm sorry for all of this. Anyway, just never forget this one thing: I love you.
Love,
Skylar
