Thanks for the shoulders to lean on. No, I don't think it was so terrible. What I had envisioned writing was much more specific -- this is sort of a cop-out apology because I haven't named anything specific.
But then I thought that writing a more specific apology at this point would only serve to remind him of the negatives. Who is attracted to a long list of how someone failed you? Ugh. I couldn't bring myself to do that right now.
This was a spur of the moment thing that came mostly from a place of "I still can't believe this is my life. This is not how we are supposed to be planning for this holiday."
