Gone fishing? ....... not exactly. I had a nice conversation with a very good friend who helped me find the strength to look deep in my heart and soul and respond to the letter. I wasn't fishing for answers, and to be very honest I probably won't hear back. If it was so easy to turn their back and walk away before, this should be a breeze. I did not say not to contact me again, maybe I should have, but it is not me. I don't have that in me, even with all that has happened it's not my nature. I didn't ask questions as I really am not interested in the answers. The trust was gone long ago. I was firm in my stating that I was not in a position to forgive such careless disregard for my feelings and I wasn't sure I ever would be. I said I hope the contact after all this time had cleared their conscious and I wished nothing but good things and happiness.
So there you have it, I did write back and again that book has been closed and put back on the shelf. I can't and won't forget the story, but there is no need for it to be an open book on the end table.
Again, thanks for all the words of encouragement and kindness. I appreciate it. Hugs!

I'm glad that you were able to do what you felt was right and close the book on that chapter :)
Peace & Blessings,

Well, I am happy you were able to face and deal with the situation. Did it make you feel better at all? I would think so, at least a kind of weight off your chest type of feeling if anything. Well, I'm proud of you. Take care Donna.

You did exactly what I did when the same thing happened to me! I couldn't say don't get in touch again either though I'm sure he won't now. You're like me, I couldn't be mean to people although it doesn't stop people being mean to us does it?! Glad you got it all sorted. Have a good day. Jeannette.

Good for you! Sometimes forgiveness is meant for the other person moreso than it is for you and you did the right thing. :)
