I would rather have never recieved a letter than this letter, I am confused and wondering how to reply, I mean I don't hate him, nor wish him bad, I just can't believe that asking me for money is his best shot at connecting with his son.

You are a piece of trash." by his father. That is what my father did in 2004. The rest of my relatives were in agreement with him, so I only have myself. I wrote him a letter telling him that I forgive him which only led to more verbal abuse. Sometimes there are instances when letters like this are useless and/or only create more pain. For me to move on, I had to forgive and forget (everything about him). That has been a viable solution. This is a good article, but what about the son who has been clearly told, “Stay away from me.
