"But it is also the place that marks the beginning of the end of our family - and a business that is centered around alcohol. I had hoped somehow it could become something that held us together and we found light and peace. I see now how you have really wanted me out and will most likely be pleased to receive this email."
"I was shaken by the recent imagery that was released to sell the alcohol. I find it irresponsible and not something that I would want the children to see. It reminded me of painful times," she continued, writing that she does not feel she "can be involved, publicly or privately, in a business based on alcohol, when alcoholic behavior harmed our family so deeply."
Jolie then went on to say the "business is therefore past the point of anything that I could be part of, morally and for the good of our family," before detailing "two ways forward," which included the option for an "outright sale," in which she says she "would completely support" him "in seeking to sell the company and move away from this hard and painful chapter in our lives."
"The alternative is that a complete buy out of my share in the property and business by you, the Perrin family or your associates. Either way, I believe we need to move forward in order to heal and focus on where our family comes together, and where we have positive associations. And to do so quickly."
"I cannot begin to express how upsetting it is for me to have to reach this point. Your dream for your relationship to the business and the alcohol is your own and you’ve made it painfully clear. I wish you all the best with the business, and sincerely hope that the children feel differently about Miraval when they are older, and visit you there. But Miraval for me died September 2016, and everything I have seen in the years since has sadly confirmed that."
