Beloved Papa,
First of all I would like to say thanks to you and mom
as you both gave me birth. You and mom didn’t kill me when I was in mom’s womb.
I know that I was your unwanted child as you already had decent family planning
but I came in this world by mistake. After an attempt of abortion I still
survived completely by god’s grace.
Papa, I really love you a lot and I would be loving you
this much even after my marriage and I know that you also love me a lot. You
always have taken proper care of me. You always have saved me from the hardship
of this artificial and filthy world. I always wanted to be your son instead of
your daughter so that I can live with you forever and I agree that you never discriminated with me on gender basis.
You taught me several things that helped me to survive in this world.
Today, I am a proud woman only because of you as you
gave me proper education; you taught me moral values and most importantly you
always encouraged me to fight for my rights. I remember how you supported me
when the entire society was against me when I took a decision to call off my
engagement.
We always have shared an awesome bonding of father and
daughter. I always wish to god to give everyone a father like you but I do not
wish that god should give anyone a husband as you are.
You were/are amazing father but not amazing husband. Since
my childhood I have seen those fights between you and mom and after each fight
mom used to cry a lot. I know that you had past affairs too and I believe you
still have. I always ask myself that why didn’t mom leave you even after
knowing that you have extra marital-affairs?? May be an illiterate woman from a
rigid Indian Community do not have that right to access in order
to protect her own self respect.
I don’t want my future husband/partner to be like you. Actually
I do not expect any honesty or loyalty from male society as you have sown that
seed in me. I have seen your cold behaviour towards my mom and that behaviour
of yours turned me so stone-hearted that today I do not believe in the concept
of marriage.
I know you were/are with mom because you had/have to be
with her in order to perform social rituals and rites towards this artificial
society. But your broken marriage has always given me a tremendous pain inside
and consequentially I started getting scared from marriage talks.
I am afraid of commitment. I always feel if you’re this
trait comes within me; or if my future husband/partner would do what you have
done to my mom. I know it would become painful for you as well to see my
sufferings but I guess that would be the only possible way that could make you
to feel my mom’s pain.
Somewhere I try my best to understand your situations
but being a woman I am completely against of sharing my husband/partner with
any other woman.
You always ask me that what sort of person I want in my
life as my future husband/partner I always scream inside me that “definitely
not like you”. Yet, I still love my father in the same proportion as I hate my
mother’s husband but I understand my mother’s husband’s love life and somewhere
it was one of the reasons I never have interfered between you and mom.
I know relations are complicated and confusing but you have made them in this way and I run from commitments because I don’t want to repeat
this history. I don’t want to be that victim which sounds like my mom.
I want to stay alone forever if not alone then probably
with the person without any expectations and commitments because I am afraid of commitments in real life.
Yours,
Unwanted Child.

Its completely an imaginary letter intended to tell the men society that how you treat your wife is going to be judged by your own daughter, so be nice with your wife.... avoid domestic violence. Some domestic violence can be something similar to what I have stated in this letter... and this violence remains unheard within the four corners of a room.
