My ex-husband and I separated after a painful marriage. A year later, I accidentally learned through a mutual friend that he had lost his job and was struggling. I still had access to an old utility account because my email had once been linked to it.
I paid one overdue bill anonymously. Just one. I didn't contact him and didn't want reconciliation. People assume hatred is the opposite of love, but sometimes after years together, you can be completely finished with someone and still not want them sitting in darkness.
