Signed, A Broken Childhood

Dear Santa,

First of all,
for Christmas,
I want Daddy to not drink out of that bottle.
You know,
the gold one,
With all the fancy letters?
I want him to have milk,
like me.

Second,
I want Mommy and Daddy
to act like the ones on TV,
Hugs and kisses and all.
Daddy says he loves her,
and that its all just
out of love,
But I don't get it.

I would REALLY like it
if Daddy hugged me,
Not hit me.

But maybe I'm too old for that.

He said I was too old for my Mickey Mouse stuffed animal,
so he threw it away-
Can I have a new one?

But most of all,
can you make him say,
"I Love You."
Only once,
Please?

If it's too much,
I understand.
