Steve Harvey Morning Show's Daily Strawberry Letter

Every day we feature the beloved “Strawberry Letter” franchise that is so popular on “The Steve Harvey Morning Show” heard nationwide. Send in your letters and Shirley Strawberry will dish out the necessary advice. Today’s topic: Children with a married man Dear Morning Show, My name is Annisa but everyone calls me Ann. I am writing because I was messing with this married man for years and I also was married. I am recently divorced. Anyway, this married man and me had two children on the side together, but we choose to not tell anyone about it. Now that my children are getting older they know who their father is because after awhile I had no other choice but to tell them that my husband found out [about my affair] when they were babies and we worked it out. Now my children want to have a relationship with this man and his family. I don’t know how to go about it. He took care of them and came to see them once in awhile when they were growing up, but they only know one man as their father. Should I let them choose for themselves or tell them to leave that can of worms closed. By the way, when his wife found out she divorced him and he had three children of his own already. Please help me to make the best choice for my children. To submit your own letter to Strawberry Letter, click here. For more information on Steve Harvey Comedy tour dates, click here.
