It does sometimes help to get it out. Right now, it feels like you need to defend yourself. You don't. Whatever the reason H left, you both did have your own issues, but that doesn't excuse his behavior. Not by a long shot.

I know I fought that urge to defend for a long time. My ex still does. I learned there's no reason. I also learned that you're right - it would be easier to convince the TV than anyone else. I'm in the camp that says don't respond. Don't suffer a fool like that. It just makes you one.
On the other hand, vent here. We've walked in your shoes and know what it's like.
Give it time. The time to tell the story will come later. Possibly much later, but the truth always comes out at some point.
Happy to see how hard you're working. Keep it up!
Peace, AJ
