He's not part of your life. He's just a sperm donor you got some genes from.
ETA: Don't write a letter and forgive him to give him peace. Only do it if it will give you peace. And you know darn well the ex wife is going to become dependent on you if you get involved at all. She's still dependent on him. He provided her with a home. After he dies, are you going to put the trailer in your back yard and let her live there with you?
AHHHHHHHHH I am running away! You are so right!
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
