When I read the letter I was in a state of shock for several days, but I have now decided to make a new life for myself. I have put all my investments into a separate trust fund for each of the grandchildren to which they will be granted access once they reach the age of eighteen. I have also vested ownership of this house and all its contents in a joint trust fund in each of your names — it is up to you to decide what you will do next, but I'm sure that you will be able to come to an amicable agreement. I have sent all your mother's clothes to Oxfam, but you will find her jewellery in the safe in the office — there is a letter on the desk with the combination.
In the first instance, I will be entering a retreat at an Anglican Franciscan community in Wales to think about my future. The only certainty is that I won't ever be returning home. Please don't worry about me, I have my pension and sufficient funds in my bank account to cater for all my present and future needs. I will have my Apple mobile phone with me, and I will switch it on once a week to send you a text message to let you know that I am well. Once I have decided what I am going to do, I will of course fully update you. Before then, if at any time you need to contact me urgently, telephone my solicitor who has the contact information for the retreat house — his details are also in the letter on my desk.
I am a dinosaur when it comes to social media, but the grandchildren installed the FaceTime app on my phone some time ago, whatever that is. I believe it allows you to make video calls to other people with the app on their phone, so once I am feeling better — and I have figured it out —it would be nice to talk to you and the grandchildren from time to time.
I hope that at some stage your mother might contact you. If she does please tell her that I forgive her and hope that she has found happiness and fulfilment in her new life.
Please don't worry about me. Kiss the grandchildren for me and tell them that I love them.
Goodbye.
Your father.

wasagadave10 months agoSad story. I wonder sometimes. What would the world be like, if jealousy, envy and feelings of ownership between married couples didn't exist? Unfortunately, fear, anger and hatred are part of being human. Even from outsiders, who happily shame and label sexual freedom and indiscretion, those involved or trapped feeling unfulfilled, must continue to hide their true feelings, and responses. The lady in this story, apparently tried to get help for her and her husband in therapy. So when, years later, she found sexual and emotional satisfaction, it's no wonder she wanted to break away and take some joy during the remaining years of her life. And yet, some still call her a slut. So easy to judge and label.
I wonder if the husband knew the full extent of her unhappiness, would he let her find sexual satisfaction elsewhere. If he did, would she have stayed with him.
As it is, now he understands. She stayed until the children were grown up and independent. And, it must be understood that she will miss the children and grandchildren with regret. That alone is worse than any names assholes like NC26th throw at her.
Richie4110almost 6 years agoA subject that is probably more prevalent than is realized and is so very well handled here. Becoming impotent or merely losing interest in intimacy is all too common in relationships and it becomes an opportunity for one or both to resolve in their own interest.
This story handles it perfectly and rating it with 5 stars doesn’t do it justice. I would love to see a category for this subject.
Thank you, virusman, for this excellent story.
MitchFraellabout 6 years agoHe is 75 now and living in a family home that is too large for him and he most likely cannot maintain properly. In 5 years he will be 80 and can expect health problems to begin. Not to burden his children, and his school age grandchildren, with taking care of an invalid he has chosen a religious house where he will be cared for. As for the ex wife, she's gone so why bother about her?
