To ask if you could write an open letter to someone famous who would it be and why?

If I could write an open letter to someone famous (who would be guaranteed to read it) then it would be to Meghan Markle. I would advise her to look at the bigger picture, reach out to her father and try to make amends. He's not perfect and has made mistakes and this applies to Meghan and most other people on the planet too! He's getting old and has poor health so what is there to loose but only gain! I feel she will regret it if she doesn't at least try and there's no going back once he's passed away. From what we hear he's done a lot of good things for her through out her life especially paying for a private education which doesn't come cheap. He brought her up for a good part of her childhood, maybe she didn't see her Mother for a while for some reason or another, but he doted on her! Meghan talks about and supports various charities etc but I believe charity begins at home so she should think about this. Tell me please who you would write an open letter to and what advice you would give them.

That is completely bonkers 😂

With respect OP, your post is total lunacy Grin

RuffleCrow · 07/01/2020 22:14

I don't know but i'd try to dissuade you from sending that letter!

Unless you have one or more toxic parents yourself it's impossible to understand the pain you go through as the child of one of them. As for all the positives you could list, I'm sure they're very good but none of them make up for the huge glaring negatives, I'd hazard a guess. As I often have to point out to my mother, life isn't a giant score sheet where the positives cancel out the minuses. It doesn't work that way when you're dealing with emotional harm.

I can't think of one because I am too busy cringing at yours OP. YABVU.

CooCooCoo · 07/01/2020 22:15

What the actual....

HollowTalk · 07/01/2020 22:15

OP, can you think of any reasons why a woman might not be in touch with her father? You have no idea whatsoever about her private life - don't try to pretend you do.

Patsypie · 07/01/2020 22:16

I'm so embarrassed for you. I'm actually cringing!

ferntwist · 07/01/2020 22:17

Meghan could certainly do with some good advice. I wonder if they have any trusted advisors anymore?

CakeSlice · 07/01/2020 22:24

If someone wrote me an open letter to advise me to make contact with my abusive/bizarrely behaved father who I didn't want contact with, I'd be seeking an injunction. If I was a celebrity I'd be upping my security as well.

Butterfly98 · 07/01/2020 22:25

😂😂 calm down people I'm not going to send it! Did any of you not notice the little word 'if'?! It was after listening to a podcast that I thought who would I write one to if I was going to that's all!!!!!

Well that's good to hear OP.

CakeSlice · 07/01/2020 22:30

The fact you even thought about it is weird enough. What kind of person would even think to encourage a person to have contact with an abusive person they've chosen to cut out of their life Confused

theWarOnPeace · 07/01/2020 22:40

Ok you’re not going to write it, but why on earth do you think Meghan ought to make up with her toxic father? For goodness sake!

Hello, just a little reminder to stay within our Talk Guidelines here. Peace and love...

FramingDevice · 07/01/2020 22:58

So you’re advising someone you’ve never met that she should reconcile with someone else you’ve never met, when all you have to go on in relation to either of them is tabloid ‘stories’?

halfpasteleven · 07/01/2020 23:01

What @RuffleCrow said. OP that's just a crazy thought..

Why not just leave her be..

Excitedforxmas · 07/01/2020 23:04

I’d write to Robbie Williams to tell him to leave that woman he’s with and come and be with me!!

Crabonastick · 07/01/2020 23:04

DAFUQ Hmm

kittykatkitty · 07/01/2020 23:07

Honestly just NO

NameChangeNugget · 07/01/2020 23:12

That did not ask who, they just asked why?
