Well JD. You have got there. I hope that you will feel better for actually doing that even though it's hard.
I still haven't heard a word from my W and she was the one that wanted to stay in touch. I don't really care anymore though. If I can be 'dropped' like that after 26 years then she really isn't worth any more effort.
It's an interesting time being 'dark'. Some people seem to get shocked into changing (which may be happening with your W) others just feel grateful for the peace (which IS happening with my W).
As long as we remain true to ourselves and our children, that is really all that matters.
Will be thinking about you buddy, and I hope that the result of your letter gives you what you are looking for.
