I think what Gabby's saying is, you are too wordy and imo, this letter is NOT needed. I got the same sense from your post that she did. A lot of the "I only want what's best for them" and "we need to co-parent"
sounds close to implicitly suggesting that SHE does not want what's best for them
(hence the comment "they have not been co-parented for some time now" as if SHE isn't doing her job. Where were you? And the OM is not relevant, at all....and it's telling you'd mention him.)
For all the talk of it, I am Not sure you have let go. I think it's at least partly a tactic to see if letting her go, gets her back. Ironic but that's how it's hitting me atm.
Work on letting go of what YOUR part in this was, learning from it and changing. How are YOU a different man today than before?? Have you replaced your anger only with morose sorrow?
that's Not the only option.
At some point you must let go of the sadness...and create a new, fulfilling life for yourself.
MAYBE
you should Stop all the "co-parenting" talk, and just father your kids.
Otherwise it sounds like an excuse for contact, and I think what Mach said alludes to that.
You really are a smart man. But you've been stuck and sad too long. So all the talk about how "new" this is to you rings a LITTLE hollow.
Get with the program and move forward. You've been in neutral or reverse for too long. You can do this.
