Well, surprised to get a text from W regarding letter.
"Thank you for the letter. It will take time to process but I am happy for you. I am also deeply heartbroken. Maybe the letter will help me heal."
I replied "Thank you for taking the time to read it. I meant every word. I am heartbroken as well and deeply sorry for all that I've done."
She followed up with "I'll never understand why me leaving was the only thing that worked."
Well, I surely have an answer for that. Want to tell her that with the vector and heading I was on, nothing short of something this jarring and disruptive would have gotten my attention. I know that for a fact.
I know this hasn't changed anything. But at least she knows what is in my head and heart now. She didn't yell or recoil in horror, so I will call it a "decent" Idea.
