Dear Ex-boyfriend It is long past time for you to leave me alone. Time for you to show that you respect my wishes. It is time to listen to what I am saying and honor my wishes because that is what I want. It is time to stop stalking me. To look at your behaviors in a rational way. To see ho...

Dear Mum, You are one of the most selfish people I have ever had the misfortune to meet. It took me years to realize that you only care about yourself. You are emotionally immature and are incapable of caring for others. You can't form any emotional connections. At least none that are healthy, wh...
I loved you with all my heart. And put it out there again. And again, you’ve broken it. I’ve got to move on. Your message—or lack of it—told me all I need to know. I’m not what you want. If I was, you wouldn’t ignore texts. You would make sure I knew. I’m a back-up plan; someone you know will ...

Dear Mom, You are the stupidest person I know and a liar. I try to avoid saying I love you on phone calls because I don’t feel love for you anymore.
