I didn't expect him to, but my ex-h responded to my closure letter.
He sent a simple and short statement about the things he was regretful for during our marriage. It was very "real" and honest. He really has grown as a person, as have I.
He also told me he doesn't want me to be held back in my current relationship due to regrets, and therefore, he forgives me. This is very big for him...and for me, too. My ex-h had inadvertently become my father figure in my life and in our marriage, and I feel like I finally got my father's forgiveness and approval to move on. For those of you with father issues, you know how big of a deal that is.
I know this may seem or sound melodramatic to any of you who have not gone through a divorce....but I can only say, if you haven't gone through one, you don't want to know what depths emotions can really sink to. If only we had known better....
But now... I can truly move on. I thank my ex-h so much for this, and also thank God, as I know it was his hand that helped my ex-h and I get this closure.
