First, A Message to Andrew

The first thing I want to say is something to my son Andrew… my sweet boy Andrew, what has happened to you?

We were close, I made a couple mistakes in adult life, and it happens, but where are you? What have those inhuman money hungry people said to you that you reject me? We had good times and you were always my adventure partner. I don’t get it, and I don’t understand. I don’t think you understand why I divorced your father and that you blame me for everything when really, your father is a heinous human and your step-mother is an attention grabbing, money seeking, horrible horrible excuse as a human given the tactics she has used to stir up trouble. She has said stuff to you that I believe to be completely fake. Her friend Daisy taunted me and made up things.

When you rejected me at your school and I fell to my knees it felt like being stabbed in the back 3 times. They keep you from me, they hide you. My smart boy is so much better than that.

I’ve always protected you,, right up until the day “it all happened”. The day Chris roundhouse kicked you to the chest, his first victim, and I thought you’d need an ER. You are stronger than me though, when he kicked me in the head and chest he hurt me badly. It’s been a tough recovery. Your dad never wanted you, and you are being kept there for money purposes.

Remember when your father blamed you for cracking his computer screen so bad because Chris did something and he threw you under a bus. Remember how he favored the girls because they were little and quiet and you always begged to come home because you were hungry or there were fleas attacking you.

I want our adventures again, and my smart boy who enjoys doing a lot. I miss you.
