Camille,1
I am writing you this letter because I wanted to say I am sick of being treated like your door mat. I have put up with your bull shit for over a year, and it ends now! I had always thought we were close friends, but I don’t think you even know the meaning of the word “friend” or “lover”. In your version, the word meant someone to kiss your ass and never once disagree, or challenge your beliefs. You wanted a slave, shackled and chained, not a friend, and certainly not a girlfriend. 2
My feelings for you have always been true. I wonder at times how, or why, I ever even cared for you. That is a question I would love to know the answer to. You have emotionally abused me, made me feel like an inferior being far too much. I am sick and tired of being treated that way. I am not a bad person. You are the one who needs to go seek help for your inconsiderate, controlling and hateful nature. I was always your friend and lover; you were never once mine. 3
Anytime I would need someone, where were you? If I felt like crying, you would belittle me. If I was in pain, you acted like I deserved it. You never offered a word of encouragement for anything, only words of disdain. I never once felt any love. You are full of hate, vengeance and evil tendencies. If you are not making others miserable, then you are not happy. Negativity is what you live for. You feed from it like a worm feeding from the bowels of the soil beneath your feet. 4
I have found my way out now, and I will not allow you to continue to abuse me. I do not deserve this, and I know it now. I deserve better. I deserve someone who will treat me with respect, not someone who will run my spirit to the ground. I deserve happiness. I wish that you would change, but it is impossible. If you would only look in the mirror and see your true self, you would see why no one wants to be around you. However, you live in a disillusioned world in which you can’t even see your own faults, only everyone else’s. 5
In your eyes, you think you are perfect. No human being is perfect. We all have our faults, and those of us who realize that are the ones who are not conceited. You, on the other hand, seem to believe you are some type of a god. You expect me to just keep forgiving you, letting you back in. I can’t do it anymore. I cannot let my spirit be broken by your serpent tongue of hate. 6
It is over, Camille. I have my own life, and I am far better off without you in it. I have realized this now. It may have taken me quite some time, but I am stronger now. I am strong enough to let you go. I will always love you, but we cannot be together. I cannot live my life being constantly tortured by your hurtful words. I know when you read this; you will think I am crazy. You will think that you are the one in the right, as always. Go ahead, think that way. I know the truth. 7
I wish you would open your eyes just once, but I know that is like asking the sky to rain money. You have grandiose thoughts, and seem to believe you are never wrong, on anything. You were wrong though when you thought I would stay with you after what happened. How could you waltz in and accuse me of such things then expect me to turn around and fall right back in your arms? Do not call me; your phone number has been blocked. Do not e-mail me or bother to write me a letter. Do not even so much as drive past my house, or I will get a restraining order. This is the end, our end. Goodbye Camille….8

You know as I read this, Camille sounded exactly like a girl I used to be best of friends with. She treated me in the exact same way, and just as you predict with Camille, when I wrote a long and meaningful letter trying to explain what sort of impact she had had on me, of course it was me in the wrong! So, this letter really struck a chord with me. Asides from relating to it, I found it very personal and honest. There were a few great descriptions in it and I enjoyed reading from the first word to the last. I hope she reads it and takes a moment to understand. Thanks for sharing and I hope you are much happier without this girl in your life. Good Luck

Thanks, yes actually I am. I am honestly sick of dealing with people like her. It does no good to even talk to people like that, and try to make them understand. It's like they don't even listen. They just sit there and issue blame on you when they're the ones in the wrong. Makes me wonder... Thanks again.

Sadly, it sounds like Camille is the kind of person who just wouldn't get it or even bother reading it. Good for you, for breaking it off. May you find better love in the future .

Oh wow, Joann. I can't stand people who are like that. I hope "Camille" reads it and realizes just how badly she hurts those around her. Well written, I love the word choice especially the last setence of paragraph 6. One critique and that is it "be little" is one word: belittle. At least I think that's how it's spelled. I know it's one word, lol. Well done and good luck in the contest!! -Liz

Thank you ver much I thought it was one word too but my silly word check switched it. That thing has issues sometimes.
I did send her the link to that. She use to be different but then... she really did change.
