I am not sure what I would do either good luck with it
| ||

U need to get over him first.. He is gone n there is nothing he can do to u lest U let it happen. If those r his last words to u whether hateful or apology u need to know them to put closure regardles of what he has done.... Even his daughter needs to know. She has to put closure not fear in her heart...after all there is nothing he can do

Buni, awe hun I had no idea, but you should open it, you know what they say goes around comes around and it seems he got his in the end. I have a an ex like that too and he died almost two years ago this august..but I got nothing and he still owes me back child support which I will never see. I hope you open it and he apologizes for the hell he put you and pidgey through.. Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Definitely a tough decision either way - would you consider allowing a close friend or family member read the letter and ask them if it's worth your time to read the letter? My thinking is they could save you some pain (if that what is in the letter) and perhaps summarize its content for you. Best of luck with your decision.

if i were you, i would opened it... if he apologize for what he has done, i would appreciate his last intention to make it up for you... and if he were to say something hurtful...i guess he was just that kind of person to the end...and i am pretty sure you have already know that by now... you are your daughter needs some closure...and either for good or bad, this is the end... i pray for your strength in both of you.

Let it go.

Buni, sorry to hear about the tough times you had. Regarding the letter, that is not an easy decision to make. My first reaction was "Burn it", as you have closed that chapter of your life. However, then I thought - and others suggested this as well - another person could read the letter first and see what he had to say. They could then advise you on the best course of action. For your future I wish you boundless happiness ...

Trust your gut ....... it has been a great guide for you since I have known you and I will support whatever you decide as it will be the right decision, for YOU.  Drop in and visit my blog sometime, but you'll probably regret it

I am going to be in the minority, but I say open it when the time feels right. You have grown and moved on and it is important to at least see if he apologized to you and your daughter for all the hurt he caused. If he did, then you can share the letter with your daughter if you want, or burn it regardless of what's in it.

Burn it, imho, no point during up old wounds even if he did realize his mistakes. Satyr in Sheep's Skin Peruse my many stories at Satyr39s Storybook Corner or my Renaissance Era BDSM fantasy story at Serial Story Reinport39s Crowning Index.

I certainly understand you when you say it is toxic being there. Whether to open it or burn it comes down to two questions. One is if you burn it will you keep wondering what he might have said? If so the toxic would still be there. Two is if is a nopology or final slam would it hurt more than having the question still open. Did he ever learn and apologize? Would it matter if he did? Having a therapist read it and let you know which way he jumped has merit as if he got ugly you need only know that fact and not take that specific beating. I expect you have already had these thoughts whirl around your head many times. I can only wish you good luck and tell you that you are one strong, attractive, funny and even beautiful woman. Hugs. Jim If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin." I always behave. Preferably not well.

SnuggleBuni41 replies on 5/30/2016 10:33 pm: I think no matter what it says, showing Pidgey will only cause harm. I feel protective, but I'm scared more of making the wrong choice. Keeping Pidgey from any harm is of paramount priority. If you read it, you can know......if you don't read it, you can burn it....you have already moved on. I am sure you will only make the choice that is right for you!

It is a hard choice to make, I can understand that. I usually don't read the other comments before posting mine, however, tonight I did. I think I would go with the therapist idea. I can relate to how much words can hurt, from one who lived in an emotionally abusive marriage for 11 years. It took many years of therapy for me and the children to work through it. I still sometimes have side effects with certain things. I also understand the need for closure.

Get a lawyer. Sue your ex-BIL for putting you through this. I need a shovel. This is getting deep. I can't tell you what to do. I've seen some great comments already. But here is my two cents..... I wouldn't keep it on my dresser. (But I'm not you.) I don't think I would keep it at all. That doesn't mean I wouldn't open it. .. If it's the most amazing words, would that help? If it is a final slam, would it hurt? .. I suspect it is rambling words from a dying man. Either way, it is not an easy decision.

My advice is similar to some of the prior advice. I would have someone you trust read it and with clear guide lines on what to tell you. I would not destroy it on the off chance you ever want to read it. Hopefully it is something which makes you feel better and does not hurt you in any way.

I would just throw it in the garbage or burn it. Nothing he said in that letter would make anything from the past better. You've moved on, you're in a better place and it no longer matters what he says. If he said he was sorry....well it's too fucking late for that. If he said something hurtful, then you don't really want to know. Woodrow J. Evers

He is gone, yet he is still getting to you. Don't allow one more second of him to affect you. I may be wrong, but, I think I would burn it. Flushing it after a big poop may be more fitting.

I'll read the damned thing and decide whether or not that asshole's last words would mean anything to you or not... Except that is just an offer. I know you'd have to send it to me and let me read it but I know he was horrible to you and it's possible that the last words will bring you some peace or only reaffirm that he was a jerk all the way to the end. Yeah, feel free to ignore my rambling.

I would have your most trusted friend, therapist, clergyman, etc read it first, and let you know if it was burn worthy or read worthy. Or, someone else who may be impartial to the words that were written and won't have it effect their life if it is filled with hatred towards you and Pidgey.

You never know... it might be worth reading, or not. I would have read it already and either kept it, because I keep letters and cards and things like that, or have ripped it up and thrown it in the trash. I'm curious and would not have left it laying around. You could take a lighter with you and go in the back yard (because I'm safety conscious and don't want you to burn your house down) and open it and read it. If it starts to get ugly then light it up and have the last laugh. But I would read it through to the end. Then if it was bad stuff flame it. After all he is gone, history and you are in control now and he is just a bad memory. I believe you are strong enough to handle any crap he could possibly put in there. Maybe he will apologize and you still have the power to send it up in smoke or not. Sometimes peoples history and experiences lead them down a path that isn't good for them or the people around them. Sometimes they come to regret the choices they made or the things they did. Would it make you feel better if he said he was sorry, that he had treated you and Pidge wrong and that he regretted doing so? I think you might regret not reading it before destroying it. You would have gotten rid of it already if you didn't want to read it. Vive La Difference

It's Schrödinger's letter: simultaneously absolution and condemnation. But the thing is, it's in your power to decide how much you care about the contents of the letter. You can take words to heart, or not. That's easier said than don't though, because you may just be hanging on. You may just be giving power to your ex, to the situation. You knew that before you clicked on "add". What you may not know is why you're still giving him power. I believe that we hang onto emotions like that for as long as they are useful. Why is it useful to give a dead man so much power? Once you answer that and are immune to his control, you should totally read it. You probably won't stress, no matter what it says, because you've already imagined the worst. But you should totally read it, because there's nothing you haven't already thought of In there, and then you can just move on and forget the whole thing.

You have a good head on your shoulders Buni and will do what feels the best in your heart and soul. I believe I agree with quite a few on here that it's a good idea to burn it, eat and it and shit it out, do what you have to do to destroy it. it's done, he's gone, you and Pidgey have moved on and are still healing whether you admit it or not. My feeling is that this may take you 3 steps back when you have moved so far forward. I am just getting to know you, but with all the good that's in your life right now, you don't need this. Burn the fucking thing and then drop it in the toilet! xoxo  Rachel Mae

Needless to say, you're the one that must decide what to do....I can only tell you what I would do, and that is to open it and read it. couldn't live with myself not knowing. It may be just what you need for a total closure. WITHOUT PASSION LIFE IS NOTHING

As someone said, it's Schrodinger's letter - good or bad but you won't know until you read it. But... If it's nasty, well you don't need to read that -> BURN. If it's nice then let's consider his motive... He wants absolution, selfish and at your expense -> BURN. He feels the need to let you know that he realizes he was a bastard, it wasn't your fault... well you know that already so why do you need to hear it from him? -> BURN. Burn it, forget it, continue moving on
