[ WP ] Write the letter that you always wanted to , but never did .

This prompt is probably the best I've ever found on this site. Everything I want to put into this letter has become increasingly relevant since this July; yet, I doubt I would have written it if not for you. I'm very grateful for that. Thank you.

 Peter, 
 
 There are many things that I want to say to you in the moment - fifteen minutes ago, this morning, over Thanksgiving, in Rome and Paris - and it's no one's fault but mine that I am too afraid to. My'silence' is not completely unjustifiable; I do n't what might happen the aftermath of outright defiance. I find it increasingly likely that the confrontation would escalate to violence and, predictably, an ensuing divorce. 
 
 Unless it happens on my terms, I will not allow this. You deserve *nothing* from her - from anyone - much less half of her property and earnings. As long as your toxic behavior continues, I will always be working towards the goal of either proving that you were the catalyst of a corrupted marriage or helping her in finding her own home far, far away from you. I'd rather not but, if I can institute my last resort and get a restraining order placed on you, I will. Maybe my sister wo n't testify in a domestic court that you are an abusive and psychologically unbalanced spouse and father but, believe me, I'd love to. 
 
 Today you called me a disrespectful shit and asked me why I am when you do so much for the family. I present this fallacy, along with your usage of Mom's dad - who recently died of cancer - as both an insult and a manipulative, as part of my evidence that you are unfit for the privilege of being a parent and a spouse. 
 
 A hypothetical rejoinder could include many, many impartial different instances and reasons: you do n't work and are therefore a parasitic detriment to society, you decline to vote and single-handedly defeat the entire purpose of the country and political system you thrive off of; you are rude and unstable and a threat to public safety and well-being; as a hypocrite and a willfully-ignorant citizen, you are both consciously and unconsciously working to destroy everything the light in humanity stands for. But there is no need for hypotheticals; all that is required of me is a single answer, a mere three words. 
 
 I am afraid. 
 
 Of you and everything you stand for, yes, I am afraid, and that is why I can not respect you. Respect is earned, not given freely, but there is a baseline level of it afforded to each and every last human. That is what you deserve. Nothing more. 
 
 You have no purpose, in life, in society, or in the human race. 
 
 You actively work as a detriment to everything we should hold dear. 
 
 You do not deserve to die, no. You deserve to live, as you do, without meaning or friends or art or human contact at all. 
 
 Go fuck yourself sincerely, 
 
 K
