| "Dear Marshall" (an open letter from Ms. Mathers) Written by Debbie Mathers Typed: Jam05902 Dear Marshall�i just wanna start by saying I still love you, Even when I was pregnant with you it was very hard for me� The seventy two hours of torture was worth every minute of it When I looked into those big blue eyes. This was the first time I'd ever felt true love in my whole life. We have a problem Marshall� Over the past 2 years something really went wrong. I'm so excited About your success�yet so let down by your betrayal. Playin the role of both mom and dad must have taken more of a toll on you than I ever imagined. Marshall�I did the best I could I went without�so you could have. It was wrong on me and I See it now as giving you everything and never questioning anything You did as you were perfect in my eyes. My unconditional love Created a spoiled young man�an angry one too. Now before God And everyone�I must apologize.� Cause at the time I thought it Was the right thing to do.� I'm tortured daily, Marshall, by people Always asking me where such an angry young man Being the only role model in your life, of course, they're gonna blame me The demeaning me needs to stop and I speak for lots of mothers The words really hurt and they cut like a knife�but no way to mend a Bleeding heart. If not for my friends who have been there for me, and Yes Marshall they really truly care, I pray someday you're not gonna Be all alone�and you'll have friends like me�that won't be there Just for your fame.� And no more attacks on me�and vicious acts of Hate�cause it really hurts.� Will the� real Marshall Mathers please Stand up and take responsibility for his actions. And I'm gonna close This, Marsh, by saying�it's not too late for change.� Sincerely, Your only mother |
