Draft for a good-bye letter

[LuckyLuke]

While hoping and trying for the best, but preparing for the worst, I put together this letter in case our M does end. What do you think of it?

L-,

With your now leaving a chapter of both our lives comes to a definite end. We cannot continue any sort of relationship now – in any form – since you have knowingly destroyed all that which was dearest to me – our love, our marriage, our family, our home.

You have been terrible these last years – I think you know that – selfish, unfriendly, uncharitable, irritable, intolerant. I have not enjoyed those times. I have tried to respond with firm kindness, endless patience and respect for your space, hoping that you would find something left in your heart that could have led to a different solution other than this drastic rupture, this for all our sakes – the children’s, mine, even yours – but you have made your decision. So be it. It is not my choice. Your egotistic actions have permanently hurt -, - (our children) and me. Cut, bleed, cry, scar – my profuse thanks.

Your actions show that your word – spoken three times ! – means nothing and that you cannot be trusted. I will treat you accordingly. (We married three times, each time for a different reason).

Any communication in the future between us, which I want kept to an absolute minimum, will be depersonalized by computer on my side, removing any trace of personal style. You will cease to exist, as much as possible, for me and I will attempt to remove you from my memories.

You have been the absolute best and the absolute worst in my life. They say all is well that ends well – too bad it ended on the latter.

Yours,

Luke
