MARRIED TO A DOPEFIEND

A BOY BEING RAISED IN THE BROKEN HOME OF A SEX OBSESSED, NEGLECTFUL, AND ABUSIVE DOPEFIEND, GROWS UP TO BECOME RICH WITH ALL THE ADVANTAGES, ONLY TO REPEAT THE MISTAKES OF HIS FATHER AT A HIGHER LEVEL AND ON A PUBLIC STAGE.

Dear son,

I wish I'd raised you better.. I wish I'd never had sex in front of you and gave your mind a perverted view of intimacy and relationships. I wish I'd never smoked that first rock that turned me and your mother into monsters who couldn't turn back. I wish I'd fed you proper meals, and not left you alone in a pitch black apartment with no heat or electricity. I'm sorry. I hope you forgive me. I wish I'd never beaten you into submission and sent you to school with bruises. I wish I'd never shouted at the top of my lungs that you weren't shit and I wish I never had you. I was sick. The product had a hold of me and I couldn't let go. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I wish I never told you that we were just a planet full of niggas and bitches that would never be free. I wish I'd never hit women in front of you in the process of getting high or trying to escape reality. I wish I'd taught you about the birds and the bees, how to drive, throw a football, dribble a basketball, and be a responsible adult. I wish I'd been there in all the ways I wasn't. I wish I'd molded you in all the ways I didn't. I wish I'd been a better man. I wish I'd been a better father.

Sincerely,

Ray Jackson

Pretty good

This book could have been really good but I will never again listen to a book narrated by virtual voice!
