I am writing to you to explain the importance of honesty to one’s family. It is very important to be an ethical person who doesn’t lie or mislead one’s family because this will only cause distrust and hurt amongst your family members.
A person must have good personal integrity and be reliable and always available to his/her family in order to gain their respect and trust. Without any of these obligations, one will always lose in his/her family. You owe your family a life of happiness and contentment.

I’m here to tell you what you are doing is unethical, immoral and just out rightly wrong.
It is wrong because it destroys families and relationships. Believe me when I tell you this because I have first hand experience on this matter. I was this guy at one time in my life and it wasn’t cool.
You only have one set of parents and they are everything to you. My advice to you is cherish the time you have with your parents, keep the communication lines open with them at all times and always love and respect them.
Sincerely,

Hey,
I just wanted to write a brief note on the importance of being an honest son that does not lie to their parents.
Growing up I was always very honest with my parents and had absolutely no reason to lie to them at all. However this all changed when I started using drugs. I began becoming quite manipulative and deceitful thinking in my own clouded mind that I could fool them with lie after lie almost thinking that I must have been outsmarting them but in reality I was only fooling myself.
As my using escalated so did level of dishonesty to the point where I was no longer trusted whatsoever. I began to feel like an outsider, an outcast thinking that I could count on my friends more than them. How wrong I was. When trouble would arise and you would think that your ‘friends’ would come running to your side all of a sudden, you could look to left then the right and no one was there, no one for you to count on. So what’s the next logical step….go to your parents. The problem there is that you’ve lied to them so much that they question whether or not you are being truthful because you’ve hurt them so many times. However, at the end of the day, they will always be there for you, so to grant them your honesty really isn’t asking for all that much, don’t you think. You owe it to them.
My father once said to me when I used to get into trouble,
You use the term ‘friends’ too loosely. You should consider yourself extremely lucky if you could count your ‘friends’ on one hand. One day you will understand what I mean. Just remember this, your mother and I are the best friends that you’ve got and don’t you forget it.”
Now, with a clear and unclouded mind, the only thing I can now say is, Dad………..I understand.
Sincerely,
JD
