Dear Soon-to-be Ex Husband, A month of separation gave me more clarity than I anticipated, and next week I am filing papers to end the rollercoaster ride I’ve been on with you for 15 years. The space highlighted how there is not room in this relationship for me, your ego and your desperate nee...
Dear member of family, I am writing to you because there is a secret that I have been keeping all these years. I have come to terms with it and feel appropriate to express to you now: you see, many years ago in my very early teen days, I got caught stealing an item from a store. The item only cos...
To The Man Who Hurt Me, You were supposed to be someone I could trust and rely on. Someone who provided nurturing love, someone I could run to when I needed help. For quite some did trust you. I gave you love and my and time. While I begged to be in your life, you were busy fading from mine. I...
Dear Past Lover, I didn't know what I was missing in my life until I met you. You taught me how to love, how amazing life was, and how beautiful I was, though I didn't know. The day I met you was a really good one. You came to me, speaking a language I didn't talk at all, making my cheeks red...
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 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 ...
Hey Friends, I would like to share a painful story of my life with you. I was one of the best students in my school days, I studied well and I did everything well with my schooling. But, after I entered college, I lost a lot of things, skills, my identity. One of the main incidents that change me...
Dear friend, I wanted to relay to you experience with racism. Many years ago, I was in training to be a therapist. One of the training modules included leading a group therapy session. Part of the training included being observed by a licensed therapist by way of a two-way mirror. The licensed t...
Dear Mom, As I write this letter to you I have reached the age that you were when you passed. I hope you somehow know that I am writing this. I have reflected long and hard on trying to understand you leaving me and my sisters at such a young time in our lives. I now have a better perspective...
To a woman I hurt, It's been over 4 years since we last spoke. We ended our relationship with "forgiveness", but I still think about it all the time. I don't feel like you truly forgave me, nor do I feel that you ever fully understood the reasons I acted how I did. I'm not even sure I remember an...
