Dear Bruce,
I read somewhere that writing a letter to someone was therapeutic and would be able to help a person get their feelings out toward whoever they are writing to. Dick and Ann have told me that it has helped for them when they are feeling frustrated about something or someone. Plus I think it would help if someone who has a lot of built up emotions which could affect everything that they do. And in our line of work that could be deadly.
So the reason that I am writing this to you is because of everything that has happened in the past few years has just been building up within. And I can't keep it in that bottle that you had us all fashion for much longer I know. I have always been the one to sit in the background, in the shadows, quietly letting everyone walk over me unless needed. You've done that yourself Bruce barely noticing me even when I tried so hard to do as you asked and be perfect. Members of the Team have done this as well especially when I was still Robin because I wasn't the Jason that they knew or Dick who was the first. The only ones who have tried to not do this are Dick, Ann, Alfred, Barbara, Cass, Steph, some members of the Team even Jason and Damian have made an attempt to notice me for who I am. Jay still calls me Replacement but he's gotten better at not attacking me everytime we see each other now. And Damian the Little Demon that he is though we fight it's only because we don't understand each other like the others.
You've pushed me to the edge just to drag me back in order to do it all over again. And at the time I understood because I was young and inexperienced something that would have gotten me killed. You didn't want me to share the same fate as Jay so you taught me how to survive but your teachings did not save me from a fate similar to that of Dick and Ann's. Being fired from being Robin and having to find my own way after leaving you and the Manor. But then having to come back and seeing Dick take the cowl because of your death was hard because he shouldn't have had to do that. Did you stop to think what your death would do to everyone? To me? To Damian? To Jason? Alfred? Dick? Ann? Everyone?But I guess as Ann keeps reminding me, things happen for a reason. Though I'll never understand no matter how much I try why you would do such a thing after what was said to Dick after the invasion.
Even with all the things that have happened I forgive you and though I had a Dad when I first became Robin I wish I could call you that Bruce. I have thought about it so much but can never say it aloud because I am afraid- yeah I'm afraid of your reaction. But if I have learned anything from my time with you is that I have a family that may include a little Demon and a psychotic that tried to maim me. I still care for them like the others. So I forgive you and wish that you would show us that you care for us too... Dad.
So Tim may be a bit OOC but I think I did alright.
Up next... Jason!
