Summary: Pansy is tired of her drunk, controlling and abusive boyfriend- Theodore. She's decided to leave him, with nothing but a letter.
Mean
Theodore,
If you have found this, I am pretty sure you know that I have left you. I want you to know that I don't regret it one bit. We loved each other once upon a time, and I trusted you too much. But, you have broken my trust, again and again. You are a drunk and a cheat! I didn't say anything because I was too scared. After the death of my parents, I didn't have anywhere to go. You came to my rescue. You comforted me and loved me, it only seemed right to settle down with you. I didn't realize that I had grown so dependent on you, that I was afraid of being alone. I believed in you too much – every word that came out of your spiteful mouth. You told me I was worthless, stupid, and not fit for anyone. You told me that I should be glad to have you because nobody would want pathetic me anyway, and I believed it … every single word.
But, you were wrong when you said when you said all of those mean things, and you'll always be wrong. I'm not stupid. I'm not worthless. I'm not pathetic. It's you who is! You were the one who was so damaged, that you took it out on me. You were the one who was so insecure, that you needed to hurt me – just so that you could feel better. You chose to hurt me, only because I was not physically strong. You beat me. You liked to hear my cries. You know what that says about you? That it's you're the one who needs help. I'm perfectly fine just the way I am! I can lead my life on my own. I don't need you, or rather, any man to do that. I should have seen this earlier, but your lies and false hopes held me back.
I know it will take me some time to get back on my feet. But, it's not my life that is in danger. I can see your future, Theo – lashing out at people, acting as if it's you who's above them, complaining, fighting, hurting – Get some help, because you need it.
I not afraid of you anymore, I have left you behind. You were a bad chapter in my life. I wish you had never happened to me. But, I have nothing but pity for you now.
Goodbye,
Pansy
AN: I don't know how this turned out. I'm sort of satisfied with it though, what do you think of it?
