Most of you here know my story but for those who don't I ment a girl 20 years ago never got over here. We're back trying it again. Blah, blah, blah.

I found a letter to my mom after this girl left that Said Her name misses me and the sound of my voice. After I that I told my mom I hope the Btch suffers. Now in my defense I was 23/24 at the time & it was my first time dealing with such feelings. I told her about the letter and she thought it was funny. However I left out the part where I called her a Bytch. When she comes down I know she is going to want to see it.

Now do I ummm lose the letter or explain that I was hurt when she left and I didn't know how to handle her leaving? When I first read the letter all I say was her name it didn't dawn on me that I had been hateful towards her. I even thought about changing it to say something... well more flattering. It's in pencil..

Why would you even tell her about it?

Better change it, she says it doesn't bother her but it's forth-sight on how you react to things. I would be a little perturbed and probably over analyze it.

We talk about old times & such. She's still got the letters I wrote to her even the one where I dumped her. All I saw was her name in the letter I didn't see it untill I got a better look at it...

In my experience, such diary-type mementos are good reminders of how we felt (and really should still feel) about somebody. Everything we think we feel later is simply a case of rewriting history for one no-good reason or another.

Well, that was 20 years ago. I'd hope she'd just laugh it off. But if it were me, I'd probably be stunned. I'd be shocked to think someone I loved, whom I thought loved me, would think such a thing--wish suffering on me. As hurt as I was when I lost someone, I never wished pain or suffering on them--even in my most immature moments. But I was a big baby so I'm not perfect either.

To be honest I'm thinking about losing it.....I know what I said was wrong and I can't take them back. I wish I could. I'm sure she said some things about me when I wrote her that Dear John letter. Well she might of. I'm screwed.

Lose the letter and quit reliving the past, both of you. Tell her you destroyed it because you only want to focus on your future together, not your past.

Childish drama! Why did you even tell her about that?! It's not that hard to imagine she may want to see it!
