Dear Mam and Dad,
Please don't hate me. I feel terrible enough as it is for last night, we all said some things we shouldn't have. I stick by many of the points I made, but I do agree with some of yours. I know I'm selfish and useless, but don't guilt trip me, saying I don't think of anyone but myself. That couldn't be further from the truth. I am sorry for not wanting a big deal made out of my birthday, really, I wish I'd just asked for allsorts then maybe we could have avoided all of this. Then again, you would have just called me spoiled again. If I really was a spoilt brat, I would have asked for stuff. Pardon me, but I believe I just asked for a normal day.
I appreciate everything you do for me, I wish you'd just realise that. I will try to be a better daughter, but no promises.
Shannon.
