The letter states: “It saddens me that most of my heart is bitter towards you. It’s only that little part that feels sad that’s not bitter. It’s been too long for me to avoid this any longer.
“For all the years I’ve lived, I’ve watched to take care of everybody, except me. I was your first born (as far as I know) and you treat me as if I was never born.
“All I want is for you to mind your own business. I don’t want the phone calls. I don’t want the letters.
“I don’t want the fake acts you pull to try and make me think you care. I don’t want anything. That’s the only way you can make me happy.”
Keys — who has sons Egypt, nine, and Genesis, five, with her husband Swizz Beatz — was raised by her mother Teresa but reconciled with Cook after her paternal grandmother fell ill.
