Do you remember your Afican American friend in WS that lived near us? Do you remember the fit you threw, how horribly you treated me because I wouldn't allow you to go to her house for a sleepover? You treated us with such disrespect and we still wouldn't give in to your demands.
I no longer have reason to hide the whys from you. I am your father and I was supposed to protect you at all costs! Even if it meant that you would continue to alienate me from your life. Unfortunately, others also used my parenting decisions as an avenue for furthering their alienation tactics.
Your friends uncle lived with her, her sister and her mom during this time that you wanted so desperately to stay over at their apartment.
While researching the neighbors, neighborhood, and surrounding neighborhoods, your friends uncle appeared on a sex offender registry and his conviction was a result of the sexual assault of a minor. After further investigation it was determined that it was your friend who had been assaulted.
Thank God that I made the decisions that I did. My job as your father was to protect you even if it meant you hated me because of it.
We love and miss you Brooke and I forgive you.
