One for 2010

I really thought we were not going to end up like our parents. We were not going to let petty things get to us and ruin our bond. I actually believed (silly me) that we were mature enough to move on and leave the past behind. I believed as a family and mature young adults, we would discuss issues face to face. To my surprise I was completely wrong. I didn't think a new all time low could be set, but damn kid you sure did set one. I was furious. I can honestly say, never in my life have I been this upset and hurt. I was enraged and deeply hurt. I expected so much from you; I have helped you in every way I could.I pushed you to do better with yourself; I believed in you when others didn't. Que poco hombre eres. You did a wrong act towards someone I love. Yes, it is true, but it gave you no right to prove it the way you did. Now, I was ready to do some serious damage, but I'm not. I am not going to stoop down to that level. Unlike you, I was raised better. This issue is not between us, but you can't disrespect people in that manner. Perhaps one day I will forgive you. Not now, it's too soon in my opinion. I do not hate you, but you have disappointed me. If there is still any hope for us to ever talk again, it won't be the same. You're completely right, the apple does not fall far from the tree...because you are exactly like the person you hate the most...your father.

This year I'm glad some people showed their true selves. Now I know who to depend on and who to leave out of my life.
