Don't be heartbroken. That's a letter that requires a great deal of soul searching and insight to be able to send a reply. I would expect that it will take days at the earliest to actually respond. You've laid a lot on the line and the closing basically is asking him to do the same. He's got a lot of pain and scary feelings to navigate before he can respond in any fashion.
Now when he responds be care to read what he's really telling you and do not focus so much on the words he uses. Look at the meaning behind what he's saying, you know what's said between the words.
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
