Lovely email from my abusive dad

Cringe. I thought "traNslating" might cheer you up some, so here goes:

"Dear Maraschino, You have hurt us so much by leaving,

you took away our NSupply

and every day we fight against the despair and tears you have left us

"How could she DARE do this" is probably more like it

-- we have caught PTSD because of you not talking to us.

PTSD isn't a friggin' virus.

But we know that you will come home eventually.

Um I don't think so, I think Maraschino's too smart for that.

You are a girl with lots of talent, but you also have a lot of bad traits.

I smell a guilt trip

But I still respect that you have some good in you.

Guilt trip sealed thanks.

When I was young, I also acted irrationally. Sometimes the results would be good-- sometimes they would leave me in despair.

And that relates to Maraschino how, exactly?

Who knows what will happen?

No thanks for the veiled threat.

But your irrational behavior now will one day prove to be a valuable lesson that will make you mature.

She's an adult and she can choose for herself which lessons she wants, and I don't think she values your teacher skills.

And one day you will realize that we love you and know what's best for you,

Um... right. NOT.

and you will notice our pain that you caused

typical Nguilt bullshit, to be ignored

and you will come back to us.

because we're the only special snowflakes

Hey, remember when you were tiny and I used to buy you bubblegum?

read: when I used to be able to use you as Nsupply. Newsflash: Those days are O-V-E-R.

Love, Dad"
