Short and sweet:

You asked if I'd had a chance to think. I have.
I have tried to rebuild our relationship again and again, in many different ways, but it seemed nothing was ever good enough, nothing would loosen your heart.
I've felt insulted, judged, and disrespected by how you have spoken to and treated me. Well, I won't accept abuse like that anymore. At Christmas, for example, when S is here, I will sleep upstairs, here in my house. You can sleep where you want - it doesn't really matter to me where.
