This one is for my mother. Whether she ever gets a chance to read it or not, there are a few things I want her to know. My heart has been torn for months now, and I have lost any hope I had that it will ever change between us.

The last thing I expected was for you to decide one day you didn't want to be my mom anymore. For years, you have caused me so much heartache. I've never been talked about so badly or judged by anyone like I have been by you. I did not make the best decisions in high school but isn't that a part of growing up? All I have ever needed was to know you love and support me despite my mistakes. Not every issue in our relationship has been your fault, but I won't pretend that you are innocent either.

Your behavior has shown me exactly how I shouldn't treat people let alone my own children someday. I would do anything just to hear you love me because I don't even remember the last time you told me. I'm not positive the damage done can ever be turned around as it has gotten this far. As much as I hate to admit it, we are better off without one another right now. I was never prepared to take on this crazy life without my mom and I will always want you to be there.

No matter what has happened, I love you more than you can ever imagine and I'm so proud of all that you've done for yourself and your kids to have a good life. You are a very strong woman and I admire the things you did as a single mom of two kids to be successful. You've had more than your fair share of hard times and I only want you to be happy. I hope you will cherish our memories as much as I do. I will forever be grateful for everything you've done for me. I wish you the best in all that you do.

From,

Your daughter
