Need some help with impact letter

Ok, so I had a not so good talk with Matthew and the counselor today. Matthew called to say Hi, a three way with the counselor, I haven't talked to him in three weeks. Asked how it was going? It got kind of heated as the counselor was putting Matthew on the spot and saying how he hasn't done anything. Not participating, not doing treatment work...he ended up getting frustrated and left the room. So after a long emotional talk with the counselor, she said he needs an impact letter from me. She feels hearing something strong from me will make a difference. So........I'm looking for some ideas...from those who have had to write one as well as those who have recieved them. I know I should write about how his addiction has wreaked havoc in my life. I have read online not to get accusing and put him down, but kinda write it that I separate that I do love him, but hate the addiction...am I thinking correct?
