  Mum

  you were a spiteful piece of shit and caused me as much heart ache as your thug of a husband. He just broke my bones, you tried to break my will. I only wish you had lived long enough for me to see your horrified face when I walked out and left your screwed up religion.

  You terrorised me and my brother; you were supposed to be there to protect us, instead you would wind dad up even worse and gave him cause to hit us even more.

  I guess still being angry at either of you is unproductive and is a cancer in my soul - tough shit, you helped make me the hard shelled SOB that I am today.

  I suppose I should thank you for making me hard enough to stand on my own two feet and look after myself, but we both know that the strength is tempered by deep seated insecurity and trust issues.

  I, like everyone else that was an abused child, deserved better. A parent's job is to protect and to teach, not to damage,judge or to constantly find fault.

  Life goes on and I have friends and family that actually love me, and that warms my heart. I have achieved great things despite you and I stand as monument to the foolishness of inflicting religion on your children.

  I don't hate you, I resent your actions; I may one day forgive, I will never forget.

  Dear Mom,

  You missed out again this year on what could have been a wonderful memory. I won't let that ever happen to my children and grand children. We got together and made some wonderful memories and took pictures to memorialize the day.

  Me, my two children and my three grandchildren.

  I called my mom to wished her a "happy mothers day" even though I knew there would be at least some objection to me doing so. We talk every week, she knows how I feel about her, so she should expect me to call and talk to her on this special day. My moms retort was that every day should be special for mom and that "Mothers Day" was for the greedy comercial people to take advantage of people. I lovingly / kindly pointed out to her that married people should feel special every day too, but that doesn't stop JW's from celebrating their wedding anniversaries once a year and that the commercial world profits from JW's getting married / celebrating wedding anniversaries. Are JW's going to stop doing either of these to things because of that? NOT!!!! What others do should should not distract from the "Day" what so ever. So my mom piped down, got off her JW high horse and allowed me to tell her all the good things I heard about mothers preached in my church over the weekend and to personally tell her why I thought she was so special to me. So over all it went great!

  Mom.

  I'm not going to ever tell you that I don't love you. But I am going to tell you that I am disappointed in you.

  We had a relationship which I valued, and we both damaged that.

  However, I mended the parts of the fence I broke.

  You have made no actions to do the same.

  I know you know what I do. Dad tells me that you check you my myspace and fuss at him for the choices I make.

  Remember how I used to sit at the meetings and zone out and frown? I never do that anymore. Look at all my pictures. Even when I'm my saddest, I still have a smile on my face.

  Remember when you said that the other witnesses love would take my place? Well I hope it has.

  Because I've found people to fill all the voids in my life.

  I'm sorry I upset you with my attendance at the Memorial. I came for my own reasons.

  In case you were wondering, I'm doing very well. I just got back from California, and I'm headed to Canada in July.

  Anyhow, life goes on.

  One day, dad's going to be leaving the house to come see his grandparents and his daughter in law. What are you going to do then? Study your Watchtower? Is it really worth that much?

  I hope you're asking questions, and I hope you're finding the right answers.

  Forever yours,

  Richie
