Sup guys I've been listening to podcasts for a few months. For a while I have been daydreaming about moving to a new city and leaving my family and friends. I finally have an oppurtunity to move.

Hello, everyone, I have struggled to find the right content for a letter to my father. I simultaniously want it to be final, honest, complete, and not cruel. I want to be fair, even if he has not been through the history of our experience together. Feedback on the content of this letter would be very...
