Great point. I think part of why I waver with this decision is because I don't know which "version" of my ex would be reading the letter. The apologetic, sympathetic "changed" ex? Or, the irrational, hostile, alcoholic ex? I'm still coming to terms with the fact that he is all those versions, and probably many more that I was spared from seeing...
Pretty risky when I think of it this way.
