Dad, Over the years I never felt that I was good enough for you, it seemed like everyone was more important. All I ever wanted was your love and for the longest time I tried to get your attention. But finally gave up when you choose not to come to my college graduations. I knew then I could never...
Dear Co-worker, I am writing to you to express how I feel about your rudeness. I was so excited to start a new job especially since my mom walked out on us and I was going to be the sole provider for my family. This job is the highest paying job I have ever had which was so important to my family...
Dear old man Teacher My first day of college was amazing. I felt, at ease and felt like I belonged. However, there had been a few times where I Questioned your actions. One example would be when you get off-topic, and happened to bring up mental Issues. All of a sudden, you started making fun of ...
Dear Papa, I wish that things could be different between us, wish that they could go back to the way that they were- we were close and enjoyed each other’s company, I told you everything & you taught me most of what I knew & believed to be true. Nowadays, we are no longer father and daughter...
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, 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 old friend, I still think about you from time to time. I know we had a lot of history. At some point we were best friends! Oh how time flew. I have a lot of resentment. The last time we spoke was bittersweet. And though I initially intended to remain in contact with you… Perhaps it was b...
To My Loving Wife, Greetings to you darling. I hope that this will find you in peace and good health. I am writing to let you know and/or answer your many questions on the experiences in Qatar back in the year 2008. On many occasions, I failed to let you know of the reasons I shifted from Qatar t...
To My Sibling, There have been a lot of things that I've been struggling with during the COVID-19 Pandemic and I am going to try to convey my thoughts and feelings to you through this letter.

Dear sister, I have many secrets that I keep to myself. I am not proud of them. This is why I chose not to share my secrets until now. One thing I have never told you is that I used to live in Canada. I lived there for about five years. I was chasing what I thought was love. I married a man in Ca...
To My Best Friend, I wanted to tell you about my experience of racism. As a Jewish person growing up, I was harassed many times by the cruel country boys in my High School. You may say to yourself, "How is this racism if you are white?" This is something that took many years to come to grips with...
To my friend, I have always been a loner in my life. Most people around me do not recognize it but I always feel like I never fit in anywhere. I've never felt an interpersonal relationship with my friends. My girlfriend is kind and understanding but there is a gaping hole inside me that yearns fo...
Dear Mother, When I was a child I remember you being attentive. There were problems, but you tried. Something changed when I turned 16. You started going out more and acted like the teenager I was supposed to be. There were things you told me I should not have known. You started treating me li...
Dear Mom, I feel very cheated that I didn't have a good mother growing up. You liked my sister, but you didn't like me or have anything to do with me. We never had a normal conversation, except you tell me what to do. One time I said that I looked like you and you said oh no you don't, you loo...
Dear Mama, Hi! I love you. I just want to start this letter off by saying that I love and miss you and the family so dearly! I knew that I was taking a huge risk moving across the country for love, and that I would be abandoning my sense of community and security in doing so, but I didn't thi...
To The One Who Hurt Me, You really made a fool out of me. You told me about your rough upbringing and had me believe that you had changed. I removed you from the environment you so desperately wanted to break away from and we spent a year falling in love and making beautiful memories. I don'...
Dear cheating husband, I am not sure why I still love you and like you so much. I am writing this letter to tell you that I am leaving you. This is all because of you and you know the reason very well. We have been married for 6 years now. First and foremost, you interfered with my work and s...
Dear Mom, Thank you for the time we had. It allowed me to get the closure I needed and to understand why you and Tom had two kids you didn't want. My sister will never be a functioning person and you should feel deep shame for not protecting her from her abusive husband and poor children will nev...
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...
