I think that I need to respond to the email. How about this... "I got your email. Since you didn't want me to say anything, I won't. If you want to talk or get together, give me a call."
Is this a bad idea? Should I leave well enough alone? I am a helper and I have a really hard time just sitting back when I feel that he is screaming for help. Even with as bad as I have been hurt, I have a really hard time saying to hell with you.
