Dear Antony,
I believe this letter finds you in good health; it is hard to think it has been so long since we last saw each other. As for me, I am doing exceptionally well. However, I am writing to alert you on a pressing matter that requires your immediate attention. My beloved cousin, your drug addiction is alarming. Your drug addiction needs to be addressed, failure to which, it will reach a time where it can never be mended.
I know you do not want to hear this, but would you love to have a drunkard as a father who comes home late in the evening? Does not like spending time with his family? How do you think your wife feels when you arrive home late at night? How can you raise a hand on your wife? You never eat dinner with them, and you do not show them you love them. When will you ever act as a good father to your children? Put yourself in that shoe Antony, does it feel right for you as a father. How do you feel when they hear you have arrived and they all run to their rooms since they fear your drunkenness? Don't you think you are making your children and wife be at a place that affects their mental health? Time fly's cousin; just put this into consideration. Sooner or later, you will come to regret what you did.
I recall once when you started a family; you used to come and visit us once in a while. You could arrive, and you were all smiles, you used to walk majestically thanking God the way you were successful, you could even take a chance to thank our parents who took care of you since you were a child, by taking them to vacation and letting them have a good time. What happened to the cousin I knew? He used to plan things for his girlfriend before they got married and go and have fun. Who came and took the hardworking cousin I knew? Don't you see you let your family go away by not communicating and assuming them as if they never existed? You do not care about anythin...
