Hi Matt,

Thanks for your reply. You’ve given me a very different prespective with which to tackle the situation and I think will really help me make reparations. I never even considered where the guilt was born from.

In all honesty the most helpful part of your message is that even having read what I’ve done the bad things I’ve done don’t make me exceptional which I think when I’m dwelling and beating myself up I forget I’m not the first nor last person to mess up.

So thank you for the taking the time to remind me I’m not unloveable.

Ta,

Daniel

Well I’m already on a program (sober six months now – i thought I mentioned that) and I appreciate your response but I don’t see what telling her will achieve outside of relieving my own guilt – after everything I’ve put her through already surely telling her is just going to hurt her more and doing that just so I can feel better just feels selfish.
