This letter has been a long time coming. So many times we have longed to put pen to paper but thought better of it. But the day has finally come. Our hearts are no longer full of hatred and anger but instead forgiveness and love. So with that, we want to begin by saying two simple words, thank you.
Never would we have ever thought a time would come when we would find it in our hearts to thank you for all the pain you caused. Little did we believe we had the strength to trudge through the heartache of another day but we survived and for that, we thank you.
We thank you for the many names you called us. From racists, to unfit mamas to lazy wives and adulterous women, a thank you must be uttered. For every demeaning written email, sent text …show more content…
Each moment left questioning our sanity and what we knew to be true about ourselves, thank you.
For involving not only our friends, but family and church as you worked to alienate us leaving us alone, abandoned and betrayed, we thank you.
For spending tens of thousands of dollars on expensive attorneys instead of financially providing for the children you claimed to love and always take care of, we thank you. For caring more about winning a battle than being what your children needed and for teaching about true character and integrity not just to us, but to our children, we thank you.
As you surrounded yourself with those we once called friends and family, leaving us to fight alone, you left us finally understanding the true meaning of love and friendship.

You left our world feeling dark and lonely as we withdrew so deep within ourselves that we lost our sense of self. Instead, we became shells of women who were left feeling we had no purpose and were beyond being loved. Thank you for breaking us to the point that left us feeling like we were nothing.
For all these things, we thank you. We thank you because you have helped to prove the old cliché true, because truly what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger. We have fought through a battle we were unprepared to fight but we have come out warrior princesses who are stronger than we ever thought possible.
You left us in a dark hole, scared, cold and completely alone, wanting and waiting to be rescued. Weighed down by the heaviness of all we endured, we believed we would drown. However, someone swooped in to rescue us. Because of Him we experienced a love like no other as He picked up every broken piece you worked so meticulously to create and He not only put it all back together but turned it into an amazingly beautiful masterpiece of His love and grace.
He came in and redeemed, rescued and restored all those things within us you tore apart. He worked within our hearts to remind us of our true identity as He whispered into our hearts that we belonged to
