Safe Haven ~~~ Katie to Kevin
Dear Kevin,
Sure when I married you five years ago, I DID love you. It’s just that our relationship change, YOU changed, It just wasn’t the same. I don’t know what got into you. When you started drinking you never stop. Our relationship just wasn’t safe for me anymore. You even said “I don’t like hitting you. You just don’t think sometimes.”(pg 145) I think it was that you didn't think. You knew it was wrong, but you didn’t stop. You never thought about what it felt like for me just cleaning the house, make food for you and spend most of my time locked up in the house. What I did was the best for me. I couldn’t go through living in this marriage like this.
After trying to escape two, I knew I needed to figure something else out. I needed to get away, far away as possible. I started collecting money from you a little bit over the past year. Little by little I saved enough to be able to pay for bus ride from Boston to New York, then onto Philadelphia. I knew I needed more money to be able to get farther away. That’s why I got those different waitressing jobs to be able to save enough for another bus ticket. When you finally found me in Philly, I just had get out as soon as I could. I ended up in Southport and fell in love with it there. I felt safe. It hasn’t’ been easy either.
When I met Alex we were just friends. I started by just bonding with his daughter, Kirsten. Then we just kept spending more time together. I was falling in love again. He was too. I feel away around him that I had lost with you. I knew that Alex thought “You look beautiful” (119), but I felt beautiful as well. He was also patient with me. he told me “I love you, Katie. you might not be ready to say those words now, and maybe you’ll never be able to say them, but that doesn’t change the way I feel about you.” (130)
When I saw you at the store I knew that “I’ll never go with you. I never wanted to go back.” (321)with you. What you did to Alex’s store and house what just wrong. You brought it all on yourself. If you weren’t drinking NONE of this would have happen. You had so much alcohol in your system that you had “effectively poisoned” yourself. (325) It wasn’t just that I had fallen in love with Alex I had fallen in love with his kids. “If anything had happen to them, I don’t know that I could have lived with myself. “(326)
I’m glad that I will NEVER EVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU EVER AGAIN!!!
