A friend of mine left her mother's side of the family a while ago a is now considering going back to them. She writes my friend long emails talking about how her dogs miss her and how this is all amy's fault. amy is now 18, but before that Ann would physically and verbally abuse her. here is an Ann's email to amy:

Amy~

You have finally broken the very things I have tried to teach you for 18 years, trust & honesty. We have had many conversations and yes many of my rantings about such topics and trust, honesty, integrity and loyalty all of which you have decided you can do without. And for that I am very sad, because I obviously failed in my attempts to teach you to have a moral conscious.

All I ever wanted was for my two daughters to grow up to be honest, intelligent, hardworking, trustworthy and appreciative human beings. Human beings that don't take their good fortunes for granted, that appreciate the hard and honest work of others and to have compassion for others. And I failed you, those are lessons you did not learn, so I guess only time and experience of life's hard knocks will teach you those lessons.

You have made your feelings, your wants and your needs perfectly clear to me, to Dan and to Terra and even to Greta and Mason, yep their just dogs by they also loved you unconditionally just as the rest of us do. But we and yes I'll speak for Dan & Terra are not going to live with your lies or your denial anymore. Do what you will, you always have, even when you know that what you have done is wrong and no matter who you hurt.

You have always had a difficult time fighting with your conscious, being able to tell yourself no, right from wrong and being self aware. You always viewed self control as someone else taking control, when all along it's your own self control that you are lacking. You will find through life's experiences whether it's in your home, your work place, school or in the global environment you'll find that you will have to live with other peoples rules and sensibilities, that doesn't mean they are taking control of you it means you have to live and get along. It's the only way you'll ever succeed in life, by being able to be a functioning member of your home, your school, your workplace and your global village that's when you are a successful human being.

You may try to erase that fact that we ever existed, you can hide your regrets, but until we are all dead and gone we will always be your family even though you hate us and have mistreated us. This poem is still very relevant whether you see that or not, I guess it doesn't matter, but you still have a choice everyday of the kind of person you want to be.

Love Always~

Your Mother Always, Ann

Amy isnt the bad person, in fact she has been extreamly sad and her grades are poor in all subjects. All of us dont want her to go back because Ann would just hold it over her for the rest of her life and break her more. is this normal?
