Sometimes the best way to make your point is to say nothing with written words nor voice.
Live your life as you do and move forward.
No reason to "have the last word", it accomplishes nothing especially when the first words accomplished nothing either.

I agree. Sometimes, people and/or relationships stop being healthy for you, and when that happens, the best thing to do (although sometimes it's REALLY difficult) is to cut ties like ripping off a bandaid and get on with your life without them.

Agree. OP, your letter just makes me go "huh?"

Also, do you know what "opportunist" means? The part in bold makes no sense:

"Silence makes you something else… An opportunist.
That’s exactly what I would be if I stayed in this room and never reacted to anything we’ve experienced through one another."

I read that letter several times. Most of it made no sense. Trust me on this, it's not something you want anyone to get their hands on - it only makes you look immature and incoherent. Don't ever give someone this type of ammunition.

Letters are for Moderator cut: snip.

If you have a problem with someone, discuss it face to face.

If it makes you feel better to put your thoughts down on paper, fine. Then set fire to it and move on (and out).

What is the point of giving anyone this incomprehensible drivel? If anything, she will only use it to point out to her friends that you were a strange roommate and your blow up with her was all your fault. It doesn't sound to me like what happened between you re: the computer issue was really any big thing, but you reacted in a big way and now you seem to be not letting it go (writing letters, consulting strangers in a forum). Just let it go. This letter serves no purpose other than venting. It also explains nothing, since it is so vague and confusing.

Writing a letter like that does nothing but show how passive aggressive you are.

Your letter just made no sense whatsoever. I agree with the others ... just be civil, and move on. Good luck.
