To The One I Once Adored

To the man who was supposed to raise and love me. I have so many questions.

A Change of Heart

Dad,

I had to take some time, before I could come back and write another post. I needed my questions answered somehow, and then I came across this old picture of mom when she was just a girl. It was at that moment, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. The answer to all my questions was in my face for all these years. You miss her, but so do I. The way you treated me was foul, and it wasn’t right. However, I’m willing to forgive you and start anew if you’re open to it.

Your Daughter,

Kya Barrett

(p.s. I’m located in the Kingdom of Chimera now)

I've Got Questions

Dad,

After mom’s death, you started drinking heavily. Then you became my worse nightmare. You sent me away to military boarding school when I was only eleven. Do you know how many times, I had to prove to the older kids I was good enough to be there? Did you even, know I joined the military after I graduated? I endured wounds that still have visible scars on me, but nothing was worse than the abuse I suffered at your hands. Why did you treat me like I killed mom? And if you hated me so much, why didn’t you just give me up for adoption?

Your kid,

Kya

Jog Your Memory

Dad,

Not that you deserve that title. It’s your daughter, Kya; do you even remember me? My real question is, do you remember before we left Earth and came to Thera? Even though, Earth was a heaping mess you protected mom and I like your life depended on it. I used to feel like the luckiest kid in the world. I had a dad I adored so much, but you and I both know that changed once mom died.  I was only ten and my world was turned upside-down. Why?

Your kid,

Kya
