I've been there. I didn't even write a letter. I left a message on the phone something like:
I want to cancel the next meeting. I can't talk about it yet. When I can, I will call to schedule another appointment. if I remember correctly, I was struggling (successfully) to hold back tears as I left the message. I could barely think about it, couldn't have written about it much, and couldn't face him yet. His response (left in another phone message), which was very open and trusting in me, probably allowed me to breathe and go back sooner than I might have. Sometimes trying to push something makes it take longer.
As for feedback on your letter, I have a sense of stridency from your letter. I'm not sure why, particularly since I don't hear any blaming or judging, and perhaps that is what you want. I'm just observing for feedback.
picky grammar:
there should be a comma after "all bad," yet ....
I first I read it as: you haven't turned all bad yet,,,, but then the next phrase doesn't flow so I went back and realized what you meant.
and maybe a comma after "yet" too. I'm not sure.
