Dear All,

This is my first post, forgive me for everything that's to come...although I know you all understand.

Dear Dad,

I don't get it. For as long as I've been in highschool you've been pushing the importance of college down my throat..why is it you think I dont understand? This happens everytime you come home, we argue about something and someone gets upset, and mom thinks you're never going to come home again. Sometimes I wonder if she's wishing that. Because I know Chris and I do. It's not even the fighting and the work and all the things you say that hurt us a lot, we're used to that. It's how miserable you make mom. Marraige shouldn't be a chore, and that's all it seems to be to you. Mom told me I should be happy I found someone like Nick, because he makes me glow, and she wished she'd found something like that. It's sad when her whole philosophy regarding your marraige is "It's better to deal with the ass that you know, then one you don't".... It certainly taught me to be careful with my feelings. When you left mom that first time, I never saw someone so hollow..and I'm starting to see it again. Please don't hurt her a second time. You're not the one who has to pick up the pieces.

Love regardless,
