Dearest Daddy….the message said <br />I’ll be over to get my things on Saturday <br />We’ve found a house and we are moving in <br />So open the door when we knock <br />Dearest Daddy….the message continued <br />I can’t believe you are holding his computer hostage <br />You have already had his car impounded <br />What else is it you want from us? Blood <br />Dearest Daddy….the message ended <br />See your asses in court! <br /> <br />I told my wife, for a brief moment I actually thought our daughter cared <br />But I knew if I refused to give in on my principles <br />Hers would collapse into hostility and threats <br />I now realize all too well that you can’t make them do anything <br />But you can make them wish they had…<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deposing-dad-from-his-cross/
