I wrote a similar letter with the help of my DB coach and gave it to the my W the day she was beginning the paperwork for the D petition.

In the letter I was accountable for all of my mistakes and the things she complained about.

I didn't write about my changes. She had already noticed my changes. She still recognizes the changes that I am making as a father now that she is 1100 miles away. Actions, actions, actions.

There was more to the letter, but I don't know how specific I can get....since my DB coach helped me put it together.

At the end of the letter, I asked her not to respond. She responded later that day. She was surprised at the fact that I had been listening to all of her complaints. She told me that it's crazy when everything is on paper.

As for including your feelings for her, I don't know if that should be included. Your W doesn't have the same feelings for your right now. Have you told her how you feel in any of the many convos you've had with her? If she already knows, I'd leave well enough alone.

Hope this helps Alamo.
