As I sit down to write this letter, I find myself grappling with emotions that I have buried for a long time but refuse to stay silent any longer. I feel the heaviness in my heart, and I think it's time to address the elephant in the room.

I've spent countless nights reminiscing about the memories that we had, and I realized that all this time, I yearned for your affection, guidance, and care. Since I was a kid, I feel like I was an adult burdened by your life. However, I'm not a kid anymore. I know I didn't grow within these walls that lack the heart of a home, but I still stay.

I can't recall the last time you cared for me when I was sick, nor can I remember you guiding me along life's path. You never hugged me, never once did you express pride in me. I'd do anything to move mountains for you, but then came a time when I wished you would disappear. As the years passed, our relationship became so cold, my resentment festered like a wound that never heals, my anger turned bitter, until it consumed my very soul.

I didn't write this letter just to blame you or anything. I write this to express the pain that has lingered in my heart for far too long. I don't want to feel like this anymore, nor do I want to be the same person I was years ago when my world turned dark because of you. I just hope that we confront our demons together, and I wish that maybe someday you'll realize why this child became miserable in life.
