Dear Megan

I have decided to write you a letter rather than a WhatsApp to reduce stress for both of us. This is a
goodbye letter. I’m sending it to you now as you are in a safe place and have emotional support, I’ve
been meaning to write it for a while it just never seemed like the right time.

I realise this letter may seem out of the blue, but this realisation has been building for a while I don’t
think you are a bad person; I have no ill will towards you, I just think we bring out the worst in one
another due to our own unresolved issues rather than issues with one another. I hope you continue
with therapy and your religious journey I am sorry I will not be there to see the end result, but I have
been waiting to long and making too many excuses to myself and others and I can’t wait any longer,
my patience has finally ended.

To be frank I could deal with the emotional reactions, the pushiness, the drama, that didn’t really
bother me. What I couldn’t deal with that has been increasing in the last two years in this new
judgemental attitude that has been surfacing. I have been censoring myself and my friends around
you because I’ve been so worried, they or I may say something that offends you and you will literally
never let it go. I’ve even been censoring Aura vicariously rather than telling you she doesn’t want to
see you for the sake of sparing your feelings. The only person that doesn’t censor themselves around
is Matthew and it has caused the biggest fights I’ve ever seen you have I naturally wanted to avoid
that.

The worst part is I don’t think you even realise how bad it’s gotten, other girls when we go clubbing,
random people in malls, anyone and everyone is a victim for your judgement at any time and you
determine their value using your own standards. I can’t stand to hear it anymore the constant
negativity has worn me down to where I can’t even get lunch with you because I’m dreading hearing
it. Think about when the last time was you said something nice about someone who wasn’t basically
exactly like you.

You and I have been together through the most difficult times in our lives, and we have supported
one another and grown together but for the last two years we have been harming one another
rather than helping one another. I have been enabling you in your poor choices and in your negative
attitudes and I have been disabling myself by allowing you to push me back into bad habits and
people pleasing. You are going to be hurt by this you are going to possibly despise me for this, but
you need to hear it and I hope you can look back on this in the future and realise you needed this
wakeup call. To have friends you need to be friendly, to be liked you need to be likeable, to be
treated kindly you need to be kind and if you want to stop feeling like a victim you need to stop your
victim mentality.

I wish you and your family prosperity and growth.

Final Regards

Rashelle
