DItto what Amy said about that letter, make it work to YOUR advantage. Stbx has said things that hurt me, but after the drama was over, I started thinking,and some things he said about me are true, and I have tried to learn from them. I'm a bit of a hot head and it is hard for me to step back and not engage, prob that's why your mil had all those suggestions for your W. Hard to talk to a hot head, keep your convos drama free, eventually she'll catch up (took me a while, it actually made me madder sometimes when he was all cool, but now I get it.)
Good luck)))))))))) You have and will keep growing as person as this ordeal unfolds, it is a trial by fire, let the fire purify you, not burn you.
