Fuck You!

Dear Dad,

I am doing pretty well, thanks.  You have not heard from me in a while because I am really struggling with our relationship.  I spend a lot of time with R and as I watch her struggle to simply survive day to day, I become very angry with you.  I don't understand how you can completely ignore, and have no apparent interest in your own daughter!  Based on what I have been told, you are completely responsible for the trauma that destroyed her life and yet you take no responsibility for your actions or, deny what you have been accused of.  So that leaves me with a gaping wound that will not heal with time alone.  So forgive me if I don't contact you on a more regular basis.  I am probably too busy driving down to one of the many psychiatric hospitals R has been admitted to, or perhaps I am visiting her in the hospital after she broke her leg when she fell down for no apparent reason.  I might be just spending the day with her trying to be a good brother helping her to find some reason to continue on with her incredibly difficult existence as she tries to answer the question "why did this happen to me?"  I am sure you are very busy with your house in Florida and all the money your wife inherited.  Your probably occupied with planning how to spend the rest of your retirement while I encourage R to simply venture from her apartment and play bingo with the ladies that live in the building. 

I will try to be a better son, but I am awfully busy being a good brother.
