Hello Ray,
I think writing a letter that you don’t give him is an amazing way to release the pain and anger you feel. There’s a whole book written about this: Unsent Letters, which documents the healing that comes from this…burying or burning the letter after you’ve written also seems to help in letting it all go.
I applaud you for being on a journey to change yourself and I know if this is something you want with all your heart, you will succeed. I know too that you will be able to forgive yourself, just by accepting like I did, that sometimes we need to find out who we are not before we can know who we are.
Yes, we all make mistakes but the key is to learn from them – be kind to yourself, know you want to do things differently, forgive yourself and allow yourself to be who you really are.
Love and peace,
Marilyn
