Letters to Parents
Just a question, my father died, well killed himself, last year. I have a lot that I feel I need to say to him. I have seen letters to parents on here before.
I am wondering,
1. Is the reason for writing the letter because you can't speak to them b/c they are gone or otherwise unavailable?
2. Does it help?
3. What about a parent that is still around but she just can't really seem to fathom what she has done? She does acknowledge her role and has apologized to the best of her ability, but I don't think she really understands just how much of an impact she has had on us kids.
Anyone else dealing with this stuff, if you have insights on this issue of getting it off your chest and getting over the past, that would be helpful. Sometimes, no matter how much counselling, no matter how much I talk about it, it just seems like these "scars" will never go away. Any comments?
Peace, Levi
