Twain Writes About Her Nasty Split

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 1st 2009 09:21AM

Shania Twain has remained mostly silent since her split with Mutt Lange -- her husband of 14 years -- last year, and now she's writing to her fans to tell them she's "very much alive and well."

In a lengthy letter posted on her Web site, a newly-44 Twain tells her fans that she wanted to "drop a line to catch you up on things in my life and what better time than on my birthday." She says she's enjoying life, and trying "not to worry about tomorrow since I realize I can't control what it will bring or whether tomorrow will even come."

Admitting that she "hit a very big bump in the road," Twain goes on to say that she and her son Eja "are doing well and with all the concern you, my fans, have shown over this difficult period, I want you to see for yourself that we are doing fine."

Twain says "traveling has helped a great deal. I consider myself on a journey of discovery and recovery. I don't accept to be held down by the past, nor do I expect too much of the future. This allows me to dream freely with no strings attached." She also says she is now focused on being around fun, positive, compassionate, loving people. Loved ones I can trust."

The split between Twain and Lange came as a shocking surprise to many. They kept a very low profile given their fame, and rumors of infidelity on Lange's part only made the split more public and nasty.

Directly addressing her divorce, Twain says "the love and understanding of my friends and family have pulled me through the recent difficult time. It's as if several hands grabbed me by the scruff of the neck during my lowest moment and promised not to let go till I was safe. They kept their promise, and I want to thank them, my lifesavers."

Twain references "a dear friend and true gentleman" named Fred, who she says went through a divorce at the same time she did. "He understood me better than anyone. We leaned on one another through the ups and downs, taking turns holding each other up. We've become stronger and closer through it all, as have our children Eja and Johanna (Fred's 8 year old daughter)." She goes on to show video and photos of her recent travels.

"It's all very candid footage so be ready to see a lot of me without makeup, no touch ups, some bad hair and looking pretty goofy. There is no glamour but plenty of genuine smiles," Twain jokes about the video.

yeah.. "I am so lucky I found someone to lean on; and my ex was a bastard for sleeping around on me." Truth be told, if she'd actually slept with him once a week after she popped out the kid, he probably would have stayed home. Talk about sticker shock for Mutt: hot brunette, doing the equiv of video lap dancing on her way to the top; get the ring on the finger and it's "that's only for procreation, not recreation"...
