I have almost succeeded in forgiving myself for everything else (being controlling as he called me, lashing out at him verbally, calling his mum to complain in hope that she would speak some sense into him, not being fully 'there' when i was pregnant due to the fact that i was so sick, etc). I am working on letting go of H and forgiving him now, but I am finding that really difficult.

Just realize that nothing you could have DONE would have changed this outcome.
You did not break him and you can not fix him.
Good job foregiving yourself for those things that you did do.
We all make mistakes and no one is perfect.
You do the best that you can do with what life presents you.
You just must have faith that everything will work out the way it is suppose too.

You can CONTROL you and no one else.

Good job I too am glad you apologised.
Now let it go and see what happens.
