I know I'll never have the balls to say this to your face, so here it goes. I do blame you for a lot of my mental instabilities. I know I always let you believe that nothing is your fault, but the truth is that the last 12 months that I've been living on my own have been the best and easiest of my life. You only complicate my life and I wish you would just live yours and leave me the hell out of it. I'm your son, not your god damn babysitter and therapist. I've heard you're clean now, and that's great. That doesn't change the shit hole of a life you just barely provided for so many years. Maybe one day we'll have a relationship, I'm not going to say never. I just need some space. I hate that I'll never tell you this to your face, but even writing this down is liberating.
