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

I am writing this with tears in my eyes and 15 years of wishing i did this sooner. 
 
 Dear Dude who molested me when I was a child, 
 
 You ruined my life. It has been a long time since you molested me and those 3 other kids, and I hope you are rotting in that cell. 
 
 Ever since what you have done, I have battled severe depression and extreme psychosis. Do you know what its like being a 10 year old boy huddled in a corner thinking the shadows are going to get him while the voices in his head scream at him in unintelligible words? Do you know what it's like for a 12 year old to contemplate suicide just to get the voices to stop. You probably think I deserve it because my testimony put you in prison for 50 years. 
 
 Thanks to you, I have had 24 days in my life where i have held pills to my lips, or a knife to my throat, or held a gun in my hands, all because it would `` be easier'' than living. 
 
 Thanks to you, my career in the Navy was cut short because i was to unstable and had to spend a week in a mental hospital. 
 
 Thanks to you, I have spent the last 5 years of my life wasting away because I didnt think there was anything left for me. 
 
 But you probably do n't care. 
 
 Thankfully, though, I have found a girl who loves me. I have found a therapist who tells me it is n't my fault. I have a life I have now built that I love and wouldnt trade for the world. Now i have 2 cats and a dog. Now i have an apartment that I can call home. Now....I have a life, one I do n't want to end because it would `` be easy''.
