I can't speak for anyone else, but as I said, I am doing this for me and mainly MY healing. I'm talking about addressing my letter to my MIL and FIL. Maybe it's a man thing or something and I am looking at this thing from the FIL point of view. If I saw my daughter hurting, I would be upset with my SIL and I, personally might appreciate the sentiment.
It's just something I would like to do to be honorable and forthright...because that is the kind of person I am. Someone else might worry about what they might think. If my FIL twists it around, they're going to do that with anything I do. Can't be bothered.
If they take it wrong, that is their problem. I don't particularly worry about that. But the olive branch has been extended, however futile that may seem to some. The fact remains that they entrusted their dear daughter to me and I, to a degree, squandered my duties as a husband. I feel the innate need to set things straight so I can truly face them in the future and feel decent about it..also for my "spiritual" health. Hope that makes sense.
Now if this was a civil litigation situation and I hit a lawyer in a crosswalk? Screw everything I just said. But it's not. We're all just family here. No worries, bruddah!
