I sent this after he was arrested

Dear Brother,                                                                                   March 10, 2004

        Why did you do it? Mommy and Daddy have done nothing but love you. They don't deserve this. You called mommy such horrible names and you accused her of awful things. Mom is the kindest, most caring woman in the world. She didn't deserve being attacked and hit with a chair. Daddy tried to stop you but you didn't listen. Instead you pulled a knife on him. He has always stood up for you and protected you. How could you do this to them, to us? Family is supposed to be about love, not hurting each other. The worst part is that you don't even care about what you did. You did all of this just because they told you no. You have always hated to hear that word but I never thought it would come to this. I don't know what to do anymore. Mommy is always crying and Daddy is drinking too much. You broke this family and I don't know how to forgive you. Brother, you used to be my hero. You were always there for me when I needed you. You protected me just like a big brother should. We were best friends since the day I was born. You changed, and not for the better. You have turned into someone that I don't even recognize. I am writing to tell you that you have destroyed us and any chance of a further relationsip. I never want to hear from you again. I will never forgive you for breaking apart our family.

Goodbye for good,

Your baby sister
