Dear dad,

Your absence has affected my life in ways you will never know. I’ve let men use me, use my body, walk all over me, accept things that I’m embarrassed to tell anyone. I’ve done things I don’t wish on anybody. I’m ashamed but In those times I had no one but myself.. Do you think of me ? The child you had 24 years ago ? Do you know my birthdate? Do u even care ? I’m so broken I don’t think I will ever be whole.

Sincerely,

You 2nd child
