This is the kind of heart that should never be broken!  I don't really know Scott if you read my blogs or not, you told me once that you didn't.  I hope someone points this one out to you because I have something real important to say and I hope that you would read this and listen carefully.
  Our daughter wrote you a letter that came to you from her heart.  It was not easy for her and it came with a lot of tears shed.  She asked you to give her time because this was not the kind of letter she needed you to respond too.  This letter was about Kelli and her feelings, nothing more.

As her father, I would hope that you would respect your daughters wishes.  It was important that she express to you how she is feeling and she accomplished that with her letter to you. 

She does not want to talk to you because she feels you are going to try and explain away this situation. Kelli does not want to hear you try and justify yourself or your girlfriend, that is not what her letter was about. 

There really is no justification, you know this,  I know this and our daughter knows this. You knew what you were getting into with this woman and her biblical and opinionated views; and to think you could try and change her way of thinking is ludicrous but that is beside any point we want to make here.  She already stated she was not comfortable with our daughters lifestyle and there was no changing that. Kelli knows how she feels on that subject and so do the rest of the people in this family.

Let's be honest here, you can't say you really don't care what a person does with their lives and in the same breath say you wouldn't support them in a marriage.  This isn't just anyone, it's your daughter. This person will have some influence on Kelli's relationship with you from here on in. That's a heavy burden to place on anyone.

Kelli loves you Scott, there is no question about that.  There is not much she wouldn't do for you, that goes for all of your children despite what some people are leading you to believe.   

Please respect Kelli's wishes and not contact her right now,  she must concentrate on school so she can finish and pass her classes. This entire situation from the beginning has caused her to back-slide for the last seven months putting her future at the University in jeopardy.

I know you can be bull headed and do what you want because you think your way is always right, but this time, you really need to listen and give Kelli the space she asked you to give her.

This is your daughter Scott,  Listen to what SHE wants this time.
