Day 6 Your Parents

Dear Parents,
     You guys are just as confusing as I am. At times you are completely supportive of me and of my decisions and at other times you completely turn your back against me. I don't really know how to feel about the two of you. I don't love you, but I don't hate you.
     I won't lie, there is definitely resentment for treating me so much differently than my brother. I think it would be safe to say that we were both raised by two different sets of parents. I resent you for not caring as much as you did him. You two are so much more involved in his life than you were in mine. You never expected anything from me and always thought I was going to be a failure. You expected a certain kind of daughter, but then rejected me since you didn't get her. I think your hatred is an injustice, and I don't think it is fair to hate me simply because I was born.
     I do thank you for putting up with me. I know how badly you don't want me here, but you still let me stay here while I figure out how to stand on my own to feet. I promise I will be out of here as soon as I can. Till then, you'll have to continue ignoring me everyday of your life pretending I don't exist.
