Dear person I Hurt, It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken now. I take the blame for that. I was dead wrong for what I did to you. I do not want to make any excuses for my terrible behavior, but I am a totally different person now. The person you knew was deep in the throws of heroin addicti...
Dear Son, I wanted to tell you the reason that I was away from you for so many years. Maybe now that you're an adult you'd be able to understand my reasons. I made horrible choices that ultimately cost me everyone and everything I had in life my most importantly you and your sister. I was drinkin...
To My Wife, I have wanted to write to tell you about this long-held secret of mine. For many years now I have enjoyed watching and betting on horse racing. Although you know I go to the track with friends once or twice a season, you do not know how much I bet. I do not just bet a horse to win for...
To My Husband, Before your second Father’s Day and on our anniversary weekend, Honestly, I can’t even figure out how to start this letter, much less when I’m going to end up writing by the end. The last year and nobody could’ve predicted but you know in a way the emotional dynamics are not far of...
Dear Husband, What has happened to us? How did we get here? Things have changed so much between us. When we met you said you were going to marry me even when I doubted it. You were all about me at that time. You made me feel beautiful. You made me feel loved. We had beautiful children together. Y...
To My Dearest Friend, I wanted to let you know that I was the one who called child protective services on you. When you asked me to dog sit for you over the Christmas holiday, I agreed and didn’t think much of it. I know that you have been feeling depressed lately and thought you could use the br...
Dear Ex-Girlfriend, not a month goes by that I don’t think about the way things ended. That day in February was bitter cold when you called me. I was in bed, hungover, and just feeling lousy about myself and life. I hated who I had become at that point. I was drinking again every day, and you wer...
To the girl I hurt in school, I have been wanting to write this letter to you all my life, well, most of my adult life anyway. This may be very selfish of me, but I wanted to say sorry for all the times I bullied you Whenever your name gets brought up or I try to teach my kids about bullying I...
Dear Dad, I have always wondered - why did you leave mom when she got pregnant? At first, I thought maybe we both weren't enough for you or that the thought of us and a family just didn't make you happy. Growing up I have always needed someone by my side and neither you nor mom were there. I k...
Dear Brother, You may not know it, but I think about you every day. I miss you so much! It hurts to now that you are out there alone and that fact eats at me a lot. Please know that we are pulling for you, but on the same hand we have done almost all that we can to help you. Not to make you fe...
My Love, You have to know how much I am hurting right now. You have to know how unfair this situation is. We are barely making it right now and you have chosen to add more a burden on us. Right now I am robbing the food budget to pay for Christmas and everything you need. It is so hard to live...
Dear Mom, I have so many things to say to you I know not where to begin. I would like, if you are willing, to let me put all my thoughts into parts. Let us consider this “Part I” About a week ago, you wrote me a letter, and I have yet to formally respond to that. Before I address any part ...
Dear Society, So many times you now hear how drugs are bad for you. How many people are affected by the monster "meth?" Everyday l hurt for my stepdaughters who are only beginning to understand the drug. Even though they have been ignored, pushed to the side, used and abused by a drug addict pare...
Dear D, I can not even begin to tell you how much I wish you were here. I can't count the times I have wanted to ask you something or tell you something or complain all about our crazy family. Then I realize you're gone. Then I get mad. Mad at you for doing all the stuff you did. I get mad at you...
I know this letter has been a long time coming but I feel it is very important that I finally put down these words and get them to you. I no longer wish to but around the bush. We have grown apart. Were we ever really to close? Sare, we briefly shared the intersecting Circus of drinking and video...
Dear Lover, In one month we will be getting married! I cannot even believe the time is almost here. I'm feeling a bit of stress about it, as I'm not quite done with the decorations yet, and I haven't reserved the chairs, either. You know money is tight right now, so figuring out the food part is ...
Dear Soberly Healthy, Have you ever done the Drug called Pain? You trip so hard you wonder why anyone does anything else. Have you every wanted to feel every cell, every atom in your body and sleepless nights. It makes life so real you know its not a dream or a mere simulation. Though some pe...
Dear Friend, I have always known that you were very independent with our relationship. Since Seventh grade you would go through phases of aloofness or complete absence from my life. When you started dating that tattoo artist, the periods of absence became longer and longer. When you finally ...
Dear Dr J, Thank you for the many years of therapy you’ve provided me. I remember how messed up I was when I first met you. I was almost on the brink of suicide. I just didn’t know what to do with myself. Everything was so out of control. I was out of control, and I had no idea what to do to ...
A Mon Petit Chou, Salut. J’espère que tu es heureuse. Ii vous apportera du bonheur de savoir que je suis miserable ces années sans toi, honnêtement — il a été une existence miserable. Je vois tan visage partout. Je peux sentir tes mains sur mon corps comme un fantôme. Ton odeur, aussi, Je cr...
Dear Former Best Friend The first time you gave me up for no reason was painful and confusing. We have so much history. You had my friend in seventh grade ask me if I would be your girlfriend, and I told her to tell you yes. After two weeks we realized we made better friends, and throughout ...
Dear Idiot – Well things have finally caught up with you. You can stop the pity party you have been trying to suck me into. You were out of my life for good now. You have a week to pick up the items stored in my garage or they will be put out for trash pick up. Are you surprised? Don't be. Yo...
Dear, When I found out that you my husband of 8 years, had been viewing pornography for many years, it devastated me. You lied to me numerous times over the years when I asked you if you looked at it. When you couldn't perform sexually, I asked you again, and you could always lie and say no....
Dear Hot Deli Girl, I love it when I can go to the store and buy deli meats and cheese from you. Your smile and awesome attitude make any day a lot brighter. I am always too timid to even attempt to ask you for your number or to take the conversation to a different level. I can only keep it busin...
Dear Love, I know it has been a year since we last spoke but I still think of you every day. I think every day about how things could have been different so that we could have stayed together. I always think about the good times that we had, but then it always goes back to the time it went downhi...
Dear Friend, I have something I want to tell you that has been weighing heavily on my mind for some time, both on my heart and my mind. I fear it will damage our relationship - not the gravity of the secret itself, but that I've lied to you about it so recently. In the past six months or so, I've...
Dear Husband, I hope to divorce you as soon as possible. I am so happy that you are physically out of my life and will be even happier when you are legally out of my (and “our” son’s) life as well. I have never met anyone as manipulative as you. You blame it all on drugs but you are just a so...
