I agree with not liking it.
I find myself reading into the things that my XABF used to say and do and trying to analyze it from a disease perspective. Did he do this because he was ill? Did he say that because of the addiction or was he just an A-hole?
And then I found myself wondering why I devote so much time to wondering why and trying to interpret the reason behind it all. Ugh. What matters is that I hated all of it. Whether the disease drove it or the jerk behind the curtain was running things, it mattered not.
In the case of your letter, I have to agree with the replies in that it matters not what point he's trying to make. If it's an apology, I guess it doesn't feel like one. If it's a love letter...well, do you feel loved? Whatever the lesson he's learned and he's trying to impart, is just missing the mark.
