Dear Ex's family,

I feel like a letter like this has never been written because the conversation between an ex and the other ex's family rarely happens--the same has happened with us. After growing so close to you, that was suddenly torn away from me the moment the relationship ended. I never got to say goodbye, I never got to explain myself or my side, and I will never truly know what you think of me now that it's over.

I want you to know that I began to look at you as my family, too. I was going to family functions like Thanksgiving and random Sunday dinners. You heard about my life, and I heard about yours.

I also want you to know that what happened between me and a member of your family, my ex, has nothing to do with you guys. I hope you realize that I still care about you all even if I don't see you anymore, I still hope that all of you are doing well, and I wish the very best for every single one of you.

Some relationships aren't meant to be, but I still consider meeting and getting to know all of you a blessing. My hope is that you look at me the same way.

Take care and I am so glad I got the chance to meet you.

-An Ex
