Well, at this point I am a little calmer. But for a while I was pretty amp"t over her reaction....
I sent a short email asking for a chance to explain a few things...to which I got a reply back that said "no explanation is needed"....I then sent one more final attempt at an email....as follows.
I saw that you wrote me that you can forgive but not forget....can I ask why you are not allowing any room in your heart for forgiveness? We have been a family for 7 plus years....I have not seen the kids since early Sept.....or heard from Colton since mid Nov. I'm not asking for a lot....but a place to start to mend a little bit of a friendship...we both have a lot of qualities that could lend itself to a nice friendship
When I asked you for the meeting...I had NO idead that you would turn around so quickly, and its a tad bit unfair that you call me selfish on changing my plan when I wanted to make the best of that situation. I saw your smile...not just once....I saw your eyes....and I heard you tell me that you just were not ready for a meeting, and that you were not strong enough. I know it will take time for you to see the changes that have already taken place in my life and I can only hope that you can forgive me enough to want to see them someday. But keeping the kids from a relationship with me after all we have shared as a family is a little harsh and completely unfair to them....I would think that you could realize just how much Colton misses me...and I know that you know I was a great dad to these kids....even if I messed up a few things with you. I hope you will reconsider....start to move to a more friendly interaction
