I was so inspired today, reading KAB7's letter to her husband's "other woman".  So here goes: a letter to my ex best friend.

 Dear (&*^(*^&%,

I have seen your Facebook postings in the last couple of months, and can tell that for you, life just went on as normal.  In the first few days after you assaulted me, I was really concerned that this would be a major psychological trauma for you, and that your life would come to a jerking halt.  Instead, you've gone on, and it's me that has hit the wall.

It's important to me that you know what you have cost me.  Here's the list:

1 - My ballroom dance lessons with my husband.  We had to drop out, because for a few weeks in a row I was too upset (read: crying my head off) to go.

2 - $200 weekly for the next 12 months plus cost of meds, or alternatively, a lifetime sentence of PTSD.

3 - A loss of a dream for my husband.  Instead of marrying a competent engineering manager who would be the biggest breadwinner in the relationship, he has ended up marrying a traumatized woman who costs him over $1000 a month and makes him walk on eggshells in the house.

4 - Potential loss of my own career.  I'm considering taking a career limiting job because I need to pay my psychologist bills!!!

If I don't get better soon, I'm going to resort to exposing you to all of our friends, merely for the satisfaction of seeing them drop you.  I sincerely wish that we had never met and that I could erase the last ten years with you.

PS - I removed you from my Facebook friends list today.  I don't think it's healthy for me to know that you're (insert random activities here - too revealing of person's identity!).
