If Alison is a pen-pal whom you haven't met in real life, just stop writing to her if you no longer get along with each other. Find something else to do.
You said that you have a feeling that Kathy might call the cops on you. That's a sign you should leave her alone and let things cool down. Any letters, emails, or even phone calls can be used as evidence if she really intends to call the cops on you for harassment.
You did not mention who Kathy actually is. Is she also a pen-pal, or is she part of your everyday life that you cannot avoid?
If she's a pen-pal,it might be best that you just stop writing to her altogether.
If she is someone you cannot cut off altogether (say, someone you work with), avoid saying anything that might further anger her if you do see her, and try your best to be polite if you do have to talk to her. Hopefully, any anger that she might have for you will eventually wear off.
As for making yourself feel better and moving on, I would imagine that writing to your pen-pals take a lot of time? Find something else to do. If you like to write, have a go at writing short stories or blogging about your interests. Online forums can be interesting too. Going out to meet new friends can also be good for getting over people who are no longer your friends. [ The_MoUsY_spell_checker's advice column | Ask The_MoUsY_spell_checker A Question ]
