with regards to attempting to make any future contact.
I just sent her a short letter the other day in which I basically summed up in 3 paragraphs;
1. Apology for the wrongs I am responsible for, and the pain in which it caused her.
2. Where I am now as a result of our divorce and what it is teaching me about marriage, relationships, and being a better person. How everything that has happened has me in a place of incredible growth and learning .
3. Letting her know that I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life and I am now on my way to moving on, and despite the outcome of once was, I still see a worthwhile value in maintaining some sort of friendly and respectful relationship in the future.

Does anyone have any advice for how long to wait for a reply before asking about (or for that matter how to ask about) the kids and seeing if there is any change in her position on keeping them from seeing or contacting me??
