If I remember things right there's a lot of revisionist history in that letter. But, if that's what he needs to do to make himself feel better, I guess it's his business. It's got to be hard on him to realize that a huge part of the responsibility for this falls on his shoulders, and he is, probably subconsciously, trying to deflect some of that.
If nothing else, it sounds like he is a lot closer to owning up to things than he has been, and he is seeing what he has lost. On the other hand, he still tries to blame you for not letting him speak his mind.... but then he does it anyway, so clearly you were not stopping it!
