So he thanks his new GF publicly on Instagram for making him smile again. Perhaps a pre teen girl might like to think that she gives her daddy a reason to smile.
He didn’t have to move in with his GF simply because their relationship was made public.
This was one comment, one time. He’s not on there weekly gushing over B, he said one thing!
I can quite imagine he’s said I love you to his kids over and over, he describes calling them on Gloria’s phone before school to tell them he loves them and is proud of them. He is trying, he’s human, I think some of his responses on these texts are sometimes clumsy but not ill intentioned, he’s had to send them by text so they are written down and not misconstrued by Ella, and he still got that wrong.
he is ‘bad cop’ in the family dynamic, he is the rule setter and he has taught them manners and morals when Alice doesn’t want to. Alice and Ioan have clashed tremendously over parenting, the kids are in the middle
From day 1 of BW appearing we all discussed that it is utterly unreasonable to expect him to spend the next 10 years single until his kids are grown up, there is no reason why he can’t have a relationship with a woman AND his kids, millions of single parents do it - divorce has never been so high, it’s normalised now
