I'm so sorry to hear this.
I know how you feel, I too wrote that letter (phone call actually) and recieved a similar response. I even did it the next year

By the third year I was on my way to forgetting much of her. I thought that would never happen in a million years.
I do see her often, have too, kids! and even though I never had much hatred for her, I definetly do not have any love for her any more.
It took me almost 3 years I hope its not that long for you. The last year or so of the third was when I came to accept my gid, this was a very difficult time. I have notes that I wrote to myself, it was a very dark place.
I am not sure if my gid was the reason for her leaving, she says no but she has never given me any reason why she left. I sometimes wished it was the gid, at least then I would have some closure.
Best wishes Melody
