Dear dad,
When you are reading this letter, I will be gone. Don’t worry Dad, I won’t end my life because I want to live my life by myself.
Dad, in my childhood you helped me in my studies. So, I became studious. I remember I was not a courageous person back then. When I had a tooth operation and I was a little girl, of course, I was so scared. But, I didn’t know how to say.
The doctor asked me that, were you scared? I was hesitating back then and you told him, “She won’t be scared.” I lived up to your expectations and by this I became courageous. Thanks for that Dad.
At every event, you will be present without being absent. My teen life is not wonderful because I studied and studied until the whole day is finished, “it was because I wanted to live up to your expectations Dad.”
I choose the group as you want. I even consider my future study as your choice. I took every exam you wanted me to. I am good now which is because of you.
I decided everything no, I am not decided anything, you decided everything for me.
“Dad I am not a teen anymore.”
Did you not realize that I do not live my life as I want? I wanted to make a decision on my own. Even if it is a wrong decision; I will take responsibility for that.
I don’t need protection anymore. My friends ditched me because they think that I can’t even decide anything without you. I welcomed them.
You always say that I am not social. But, in reality, you are the one who sabotages my social life. You may think that is for protection. I accept that.
But, could you consider my feelings that I want to be the one to make decisions every time and thing which makes me live as soul and flesh?
I don’t want to be a puppet.
Dad, I am so thankful that you brought me up. Thank you, so much.
I am a courageous person, but I couldn’t tell this everything, face to face. I don’t want you to get hurt. But, I wanted to be true to myself.
I couldn’t take this anymore Dad.
Leave me, Dad.
Dad, I promise I will show up after two years from now as a new businesswoman who fought for herself, who takes a decision for herself, who takes responsibility for making the wrong decision.
I wanted to learn the life lesson, Dad.
I don’t want to live my life with your experience.
I will earn my experience by myself Dad. And I hope that you know what you want to do.
Leave me, Dad.
Let’s see after two years.
By,
Your loving daughter with tears.
