    LW, you are a rotten excuse for a human being

    Not because you don't want to raise a seriously screwed-up teenager -- that's OK, because frankly neither would I, but because you refuse to acknowledge that she is a screwed-up human being due to things that were done to her by her piece of shit parents -- including her "father" who has ignored her for the last six years of her life.

    You deserve nothing.

    I've never been one to jump on the "Fake!" bandwagon because usually its the discussion that follows rather than the letter itself that interests me, so who cares if its real or not, but in this case I hope this is a phony letter because just knowing that there are people like you in this world makes me want to become a vigilante.
