Is there a bottom?

Saw this recently and wanted to share.

This does not minimize our part in the problem we all face but tell me if this strikes a cord with you. i'm hoping if we see this in print, we can all get past the why and work on the what's next. If a Walk Away Spouse wrote an honest letter, this is what it would say:
Dear (not really) Spouse,
I’m writing this letter to tell the truth about how I feel since I haven’t been truthful to you in a long time. I hope this answers the why questions for you.
I’m leaving you because you hurt me. I realize that you probably didn’t mean to but I don’t care. I’m sure you had your own hurt to deal with but I was supposed to be more important than you. You hurt me so bad that I would rather be by myself (even though we both know I prolly already have someone else or I will VERY soon) than be with you. You hurt me so BAD. So bad in fact that I never told you because, God forbid, you might change and be a better spouse to me. No, I would rather not tell you because now I can be the perpetual victim. Besides, even though I have changed I don’t believe you would. Yeah, I know that I have a whole new set of friends (those old ones were pesky because they tried to call me on my BS), go out to bars (you kept me from being “free” all those years with those vows and familial expectations, even though I willingly said I do), pay strangers to watch my kids so I can date (but remember the kids are the most important things in my life; I know they are hurt right now but that’s your fault for manipulating them-they’ll get over it soon enough), and I obviously don’t really believe the Bible is the real word of God (vows-whatever; God doesn’t really hate divorce; He’ll forgive me-besides, He’s given me peace since I left you). I haven’t been happy for years and didn’t you know that YOU are responsible for MY happiness. I’ve done for everyone else for years and now it’s time to take care of ME(ME ME ME ME ME). And know that every time something doesn’t go my way, I’m still gonna blame you. The kids know that I love them, in spite of the fact that I’ve placed my wants (all the above) over their needs (a stable, loving family). I’ve resented you for years but I decided to hold the hurt inside because if you really loved me you would have known how hurt I was. I know at times you asked and I said I was fine but you should have known better. So I will walk out the door with a smile on my face while the kids and you have tears streaming down yours. But hey, the important thing is I’VE FOUND MYSELF.
Never Yours,
Spiteful Spouse
