[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 636865, member: 13542"] You wrote a wonderful, thoughtful, compassionate, truthful account of your relationship with your son and how it evolved over the years. Well done. He may or may not read it or gain from it, but I think what is important is that it is a letter for you, a letter you needed to write, for you. I have done a similar thing a number of times and each time a little more freedom, a little more clarity and a lot more detachment began. I think an important thing to remember is to let of of any attachment to the outcome, there may not be any, or not the one you might look for, in which case, you will be disappointed. The letter stands strong on its own as your account of what the truth is for you. That is the important part, not what he does or doesn't do with it. To write that is a statement of where you are in your own journey, of your strength, your courage and your commitment to yourself. Well done. [/QUOTE]
