Bright, If you feel comfortable in acknowledging his email, you can try it...but keep your expectations at zero. He could have been thinking "out loud" about the past. No one knows what he's thinking these days.
People do not understand about mlc and until they walk in our shoes, they don't see it. All your family and friends want is for you to be happy. No, divorce doesn't make for a brand new shiny you. It takes a long time to reach that new shiny person. However, I can say this, the day my divorce was granted, I had a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders because I was no longer fearing that if something happened to him, I would be sued because his name was still on my home, etc.
Continue to post...no more discussions w/your sister and GF about your situation. You'll hear nothing but grief from them and you don't need that.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
