Agree on not sending the letter. Also agree on co-parenting only relationship for now. Hanging out with XW and and being friends may be possible somewhere down the road. I would put that on the back burner until you know you're fully detached and moving on, which may take some time. At that point, you can decide whether you want more than a co-parenting relationship with XW, which would come with it's own set of benefits and drawbacks.
