The alleged suicide note from Robin/Robert Westman, the Minnesota school shooter, has been shared, revealing deeply troubling reflections. The letter includes apologies to family members and friends, expressing regret for the impact of his actions.
To my Mother and Father, I am sorry I didn’t turn out as you had hoped. You did not fail me, you gave so much. I truly appreciate the love you have given me. I feel I was raised to be a good person. I’ve kept those traits of empathy, self-sacrifice, and great character. Please do not think you have failed as parents. I was corrupted by this world and learned to hate what life is. Life is long, life is pain. There is too much to accept, too many things to put up with just to live. I’m tired of the pain this world gives out.
To My Siblings, I am sorry for forever tainting the rest of your lives. Your careers, lives, relationships, all will be turned upside-down. Please hold on to who you are, not who I am. Change your names if you must, I wish I could tell you that before I go. Please know that I love you all and truly appreciate the time I have spent with you.
And to my friends, I trust you all to handle the memory of me however you see fit. I am sorry for the confusion and heartbreak this will bring. I truly appreciate all of you for helping me through dark times.
I have wanted this for so long. I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person, haunted by these thoughts that do not go away. I know this is wrong, but I can’t seem to stop myself. I am severely depressed and have been suicidal for years. Only recently have I lost all hope and decided to perform my final action against this world.
I think I am dying of Cancer. Its a tragic end as its entirely self-inflicted. I did this to myself as I cant control myself and have been destroying my body with vaping and other means. I think I have lung cancer. I have felt mass pains that make me think that. I am past the point of recovery.
Whether you accept my apologies or not, I hope you can move past this and continue your lives. Be better, be good people. Now more than ever the world needs more love even if you dont get it in return. Please find hope, find love, and stand up to injustice.
I love you all, I will remember you. Pray For the victims and their Families.
Dad, Mom, Jack, Martha, Theresa, Joe, Jared, Paul, Liam
(P.S. Pola, get over yourself and make up with Mom. She loves you. You need to grow up and accept that time just keeps on fucking moving. You either will stay in the past and rot, wasting your life and happiness away, or you can grow up and move on from things. We all love you.)
(P.P.S. I wouldnt recommend any of you to read my journals, unless you REALLY want to, but be warned.)
