So you tell me, are you controlling or not? Either way. If you want to prove you are repentant for that behavior an apology letter while you are still in the throws of a divorce is the last way in the universe to show that you're changing, willing to change, and are truly sorry.


Sadly, I do see what my H was complaining about. It does ring with truth. I have to accept that I could have behaved differently and that would have caused my H to behave differently. But, I didn't get it until it was too late.

I don't want to write an apology letter. I did think about apologizing to my step kids for the constant bickering that I did with their dad - outside of that I'm not looking to apologize to H so much. Sure, part of me wants my H to know that I get it now.

Trust me - my H is a flawed person as well. I see his bad behavior too.

I appreciate your thoughts.
