Hi Dan,
Well, firstly, WOW, (as crazy as it sounds I actually genuinely mean that) thank you so so much, for giving me the strength to see I’m not the one who’s done anything wrong, actually, I don’t mean that entirely, nobody is perfect, but I’ve spent the majority of my life making everyone around me happy as well as making sure my sisters all had enough food after the parties my mother would have every single weekend, all weekend. Anyhow, I learned a hell of a lot at a very young age, I remember mum being pregnant with baby number eight and me begging her not to have any more babies come out of her because I was always left with their cot in my room I shared with the other five kids, with no carpet, holes in the mattress where the springs had broken and cut us at night where they poked through the hole in the middle of the mattress! I’m sorry if this is too much, but you have no idea how utterly gobsmacked my friends (the few who have been there) would be if they knew I was actually saying this because I just can’t talk about it with them! Anyway, what I’m trying to say in regards to your beautiful message (I swear to holy god I was genuinely in tears, you really are a more decent, caring man, than I get the impression you give yourself credit for. I really mean that Dan. Do you know something, through reading what we’ve written, we know we are decent people, and I thank god that I didn’t get pulled in with such a dangerous drug as I’ve seen so many girls do, as with you Dan, your still managing to hold your job, you want to still be there for your family, basically, you and I aren’t that deep yet where we would sell our nan so to speak, We have a chance, and as for you, just from what I’ve learned through what you’ve written, I get this sense that things will change massively for you, please don’t hate me for saying this but I don’t feel your getting a lot of encouragement or being told how your trying as hard as you are, compared to being told every single wrong thing your doing, does that make sense to you?xx
