My letter to my Brother

Since I've been pregnant I've been having a hard time trying to tell my brother so i wrote a letter and here it goes.



Dear Myron,

Only once before have I ever felt afraid to tell you something, and that was when I was pregnant with Melanie, and now I am writing this letter to tell you that I’m pregnant again. I know that your probably upset and I completely understand. But there a few things I wanna get off my chest. For starters this is my responsibility, mines not yours not mommy’s, but mines. You don’t have to do anything for this baby the same as you had to do nothing for Melanie. Yes I will finish school, yes I will graduate I will do everything I attended to do with or without your support. Because honestly at the end of the day this baby will still be your family. You have no idea how afraid I was to tell you this because you are judgmental and will look down on me for as long as you live and I know it. And honestly I’m tired of it. I’m tired of feeling so under pressure of you. I’m tired of trying to live up to something for you. I believe that everything happens for a reason and I’m a strong believer in that. And I’m not dumb or stupid for getting pregnant and you are no God to look down on me, and honestly I rather you never speak to me again if you don’t have anything positive to say. I know you maybe hurt by this and maybe upset, but this is nothing but a bump and my life that I will over come. I have a very strong support system that you can either be apart of or not. I always wanted to I guess impress you and make you happy but over the years I realized that I need to live my life not live my life for you I am in control of my life and that’s that. And I believe that I can still do whatever I wanna do as long as I put my mind to it. Because I realize I didn’t invent this plenty of people have had kids young and turned out fine and I am no different. So if you wanna not speak to me, fine, and you wanna act different towards troy fine but I will tell you right now don’t you dare blame mommy because troy has been here don’t you dare yell at me because I may not be doing what you may think is right but this is my life and I gotta live it not you! Everything will be alright I guarantee that. So, do what you wanna do, feel how you wanna feel, but at the end of the day I am who I am and that Mia.


Love,
Mia
