Day 22 – A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.
Dear C,
I don't know where to start really. We've known each other long enough ( almost 2 years) for me to share my true emotions with you. Perhaps you're too immature to comprehend how your actions may impact other people however the discomfort I felt is forcing me to at the least try to explain it to you. The mere thought of it causes me to wince. The pain was blinding. And what's worst is that you didn't seem to even notice or care. I would lay in the bed sometimes and just stare at you. Wonder would fill me up because you slept so peacefully. How could you not feel the agony that I was in? The immense pain that you just caused me to feel. And I guess that's when I started leaving you at night and sleeping with your brother.....and your twin....and your father. They were so much more affectionate and gentle. I just couldn't take it anymore. I mean I love you and all however some things are just deal breakers. It was borderline abuse and that was where I drew the line. No matter how much you screamed and cried I left you to sleep alone. But that didn't last too long. I came back to you because what we have is irreplaceable no matter who I sleep with. No matter how much you hurt me. I will always love you. This here is forever. Do you understand what I am asking of you? I need you to be more considerate. When we sleep together watch yourself. The next time you headbutt me in my sleep, you're getting your own bed.
With Love,
Co-Sleeper to a Wild Sleeper
