Notes: I actually wrote this a few days ago. I wasn't happy with it then and I'm not completely happy with it now, but I think it gives some insight into Charlotte and her relationship with her family members. It doesn't have a title yet.

Dear Maman,

I know I have not written much lately. But the boys fill up most of my time, but I suppose that is no excuse for not writing to one’s mother.

I…I’ve been thinking about you a great deal lately. I wonder if you are better. Father does not tell me much, he deems it non important. You of all people know how he is, so I shan’t go into it.

Lately I’ve been feeling…I don’t know if I should speak on it, but I feel if I don’t I shall never have satisfaction.

I wonder if you ever felt…unfulfilled. I feel as though there is something missing in my life.

It is not a new feeling, but lately it has grown more insistent.

I have no reason to complain, I have four healthy sons, my husband is of good health as am I, but…I still feel empty.

I apologize for the contents of this letter. I meant to ask of your health and here I am delving into my own. I shall try to come and visit you. I’ll bring along the boys, perhaps Father wouldn’t mind so much?

Your loving daughter,
Charlotte

Poor Charlotte, it sounds like she's suffering from depression. *hugs her* I hope the visit helps.

She most likely is and doesn't realize it as that.

Thank you so much for reading!

Poor Charlotte. I feel so bad that she thinks she doesn't have a right to her feelings and problems. The letter is kind of heartbreaking.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean.

Thank you so much for reading!
