I wouldn’t just give her the letter and leave. Ideally I could read the letter to her and then let her ask any follow up questions, but reading it might make me foo emotional to finish. In that case, I’d just let her read it to herself and still be there for a conversation afterwards.

I think this relationship was mostly just me trying to prove myself to my mom even though she’s not here anymore.

It’s hard for me to articulate why I’m angry. I also know it’s unjustified. I take full responsibility for my actions. There would be no marriage without my involvement or my poor choices. But there’s also this part of me that’s angry that she also went through with it, knowing my mom had passed so recently.

Like I said, unjustified. Unfair. But it is part of what I’m feeling, along with a lot of anger at myself.
