A Letter to My Abuser

   Dear Abuser, I have hated you for more than 6.5 years.  

   I have hated you for stealing my life away.  I have hated you for ruining my career.  I have hated you for killing the person I once was.  I have hated you for changing me in ways that not only impacted me but my family as well.

    For 6.5 years everyone has been telling me to "let it go" but I couldn't.

   Last night, while doing a long solo drive home, I was thinking about you again...with such resentment and raging hatred.

   Then it was like the sky opened and a ray of bright light shone down.  I FINALLY saw the big picture!

   For all these years I thought I was the victim of your relentless abuse.  I was wrong.   You are the one with the big issues!

   With your sociopathic narcissistic personality you have always screamed the victim while being pushed out of four career positions.

   I now pity you as you need help.  I forgive you as you are sick, you have an illness.  I will no longer be contaminated by your filth in my head.  With this letter I have purged  you from my  life and with that I finally have peace.

   Goodbye forever,

   Laura
