Boy, if you're off the boards for even a few hours you miss so much on this thread!
Betsey, just want to ring in on my support of your letter. I may be the only reader that didn't see the anger. Hmm, maybe rose-tinted glasses? Not sure, but I liked it. Thought it was direct, well thought out, well written, etc. My only advice, and I'm not sure what sort of a time clock you have set yourself on, is to put the letter away for awhile (length of time, your choosing) and don't even think about it. That might be hard, but try not to think about it at all. Then go back and read it again after said length of time. If you are still happy and comfortable with it, go for it!! I know the letter wasn't rash in any way, but may not hurt to just give it a little cooling off before you proceed.
I wish you all the best Betsey. You truly are a special person.
