[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 71508"] The thing is, you're not going to get the truth. No matter what you're parents are going to become defensive and/or deny, deny, deny or place the blame on you and your sister. If they were ready to admit to the truth, they would come to you and work on repairing the relationship. If you send them that letter are you going to be ok with no response or the kind or response I just mentioned? Or is it going to be even more devastating? I understand the need to confront them. I do. I've learned - and not just with parents/family - that if I go to the trouble of pouring out my heart and soul and it's met with silence, or, worse, lies and blame then I just feel worse and wish I had never opened that can of worms. Most of the time when we open ourselves up and send that letter or make that appeal we are hoping for some kind of resolution or some answers...validation. I don't think you're going to get either. Can you deal with that? [/QUOTE]
