My ex reached out after almost 2 months of no contact. I technically ended it, but it was because he is having massive mental health issues that were causing random outbursts of verbal and emotional abuse.

He reached out because a traumatic event happened to his family and he said he had no one to talk to. I agreed to listen.

At the end of the conversation, he told me how deeply sorry he was for everything. That he still loves me and misses me and hates what he did to me.

I remember praying he would say those words to me so I could get closure. Knowing exactly what I would tell him to express just how much hurt he caused and make him understand.

And when that day finally came? When I finally had the opportunity to say everything I never got to say? When I could finally get my chance for closure from him?

My response:

“Okay.”

I don’t need closure from him anymore, I already found it for myself.
