Straight from the heart - 15

This letter is a repost of a strawberry letter from the steve harvey morning show.

Good morning Steve, Shirley, Nephew Tommy. You don't know how much you've helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I've finally decided to write this letter to get your perspective on my situation. I am a 30 year old woman, living in New York City. Two years ago I married a man that came from the other side of the tracks. Before we got married, we openly discussed our goals and he seemed to be on the same page. I agreed to move into his apartment, even though it was in a bad neighborhood, because he promised that we would live there only for a year, pay off our bills and buy a house. About a year after we were married, he quit his job and I got a new job making considerably more money, well into six figures. A little while later, my husband informed me that buying a house was out of the question until he made the same amount of money as me. Over time, things got worse, he couldn't find a job and he turned physically and emotionally abusive. I love my husband, but momma didn't raise no fool...finally I decided to leave, and with God's strength, I've been able to re-build myself and my life. Here's the dilemma, now he's trying to reconcile the relationship. He calls and leaves me messages apologizing, but I refuse to get pulled back into the drama. I don't answer my phone when I see his number and I don't return his calls. At some point, I need to find closure in all of this. Should I call him and say "it's over" or should I turn the page and let my attorney handle the rest? All the best, Slim Red
