NBR: Should I write a letter?
My mom and dad are divorcing right now and it's been really hard on me and my sister. The only difference is, my dad speaks to her, he doesn't speak to me. There are a lot of reasons behind it, but I haven't wanted much to do with him since this started. He left mom for another woman after almost 30 years and is living with her, he is a workaholic and alcholic. He didn't call me at all during my whole pregnancy (except on my birthday) to ask how I was doing or anything. I have kept distant from him because I don't agree with a lot of his choices; he is a completely different person than the daddy I knew. I'm been keeping a lot of my sadness and anger bottled up and I think I just need to reach out to him and let him know how I feel. I don't want to call him or see him because he's always either working or with his girlfriend who I CAN'T STAND. I'm thinking of writing him a letter to get all my feelings out. Thoughts? TIA

Be prepared to not get the results you're looking for, but chance are, writing a letter will help to settle your thoughts, one way or the other. No matter how he responds, you'll at least know you said what you needed to say.
Sorry you're going through this...
Absolutely write the letter! I probably wouldn't send it, but at least writing it on paper may help you sort out your thoughts and feelings.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Sounds like between the last post about your DH and this, you've got a lot on your plate. I hope all things work out for you!! (((hugs)))
Writing the letter would be cathartic. If you do send it, be prepared that you may not get a response. Just something to think about. I hope things get better.
