Dear So and So

[mtkitchn]

Bad things certainly happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. All we can control is OUR response.
Some of these recent posts remind of times spent in my own bitter world of "why me". Thank God I stopped the madness, picked myself up, and got MY life together solo before finding my DH, who is my equal in all. If I thought about the old days much I'd probably break down.

But maybe I have some unfinished business in me:

Dear ex-boyfriend of 1986-8:

Thank goodness the black eyes and busted sternum and countless other bruises have healed. Hope it felt good to beat up a woman, especially a young one with very little self confidence. When I finally left the state and you slit your wrists, I wish you'd done a better job.
If I was you, I'd be thanking SOMEBODY that I don't know where you live, because if I ever saw your pathetic carcass again, I'd probably kill you with my bare hands. You are the only human being on this earth that I actually HATE. After almost twenty years, it's amazing that I still DO hate you for those two years of hell. May you rot and find nothing but misery.
Hugs and Kisses,
Sue

Thank goodness I don't think of those years too often....
Brings out an ugly side I forgot I had!!!! Life sure is better now!!!
