Pretty impressive letter....I definitley wouldn't send it too your W....just my opinion. I though it came from your heart but in some respects a lot of it "validated" who you were based on your up bringing. I think it is nice to know how your upbringing contributed to who you were, but I think that should be your information. Your W may take it as an excuse which isn't how you are intending it.
I think the important thing is that you recognize these facts and make the changes like you are doing. Your W likely cares little about "the why" things got to where they are and more about seeing them improve through actions (which you are doing a great job at).
Maybe one day when you two are on great terms would I bring this up. I hope this didn't come off at negative, I really do like what you wrote.
PS: I have experienced many of the same problems through my upbringing. I had never heard the "goldenboy" term before but the shoe fits me in many ways (perhaps not the good looking part...lol)
