[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741674, member: 23349"] I would say definitely don't mail it, unless he is 100% sure that contact would be welcomed. She may prefer to have no contact. But writing it would still be a useful exercise. I think we all need a path back to redemption when we have done something wrong, no matter how big or small. For my son in recovery, that has meant acts of service as well as dedicating his life towards something bigger than himself - his family, his community, young people who are heading down the same path he was on. He needed to not only acknowledge the pain he caused but also take real actions. I think the only way to stop feeling like a bad person is to start doing things you can feel good about. Perhaps he needs concrete ways to reorient his self-image - and his relationships with friends, family and the community - into something more positive. [/QUOTE]
