Erin-I tried to call you when I read what is going on but the phone just kept ringing and ringing and ringing. I called from my house phone so maybe you just didn't recognize the number or something. I'm sorry things are so crappy right now with you and your dad, and kyle, and hell, even what used to be our friendship. You are a very strong person and you always seem to get through everything, and I know you can get through this. I have talked to you about your dad and we seem to have really similar fathers. Ones who don't know how to be there for their kids but always want praise and recognition. I don't know what I would do if I were put in a situation like this, and really I don't think I could be as forgiving as you are with my dad. I think it takes an amazing heart to want to be there for him when he is at his lowest point. I would try to be over there as much as possible though because your mom is crazy as fuck and your dad might want some civil company. Now, as far as the whole Kyle situation goes; I know that situation all too perfect. I went through it with Josh where he told me he wanted to be with me, that it was just going to take time. When we were alone he would hug me and tell me he loved me, but in public it was as if I was his worst enemy. I know how many nights you have sat and cried about that boy to me, I know how much you fucking care about him and if he can't see it too then he is stupid and he flat out doesn't deserve someone like you. It may seem like the hard thing to do, but just let him go, if he wants the situation, he will come back, and if he doesn't, well he just doesn't. I had to sit back and realize that Josh just wasn't that into me anymore. That he didn't like me like that. And when I really thought about it, why would I want to put all my time, effort and tears into someone who wasn't even making an attempt to pick up a phone and call me? I know our friendship has hit rock bottom, but as someone who used to be your best friend I can't sit back and not tell you how I feel. Because you have done the same for me, and although I try to act like you aren't right in the things you say, you are. You know what you told me about myself, and you were right. Now I know we are both prideful people and we don't like to say sorry and admit when we are wrong, but I am sorry. And I mean it. I love you dear, lots of people do. I hope you get a chance to actually sit down and read this because I know you are ALWAYS working and I know you have crap going on with kyle and friends, and now your dad. Feel Better.
