Dear Jen, who sleeps with married men.
You are not Isla’s mum/mummy. You are her step-mum. Why compete? A step mother’s role is still to love, teach and protect as IF the child is yours; that relationship can still be precious. But don’t force or fake it.
Al, why do you accept that? Does Louis call you Dad? Where are all the letters and texts from him to you?
finally, if anybody believed that letter in the holidays was truly written by Isla, then that’s a shame and proves you suck on their gullible, naive and vulnerable personalities. I was once one of those people and it makes me so cross.
oh! And since you’re both teachers (

) you would know that a 6/7 year old child doesn’t write anything like that yet. Urgh.
Match the capitals in Isla’s writing to the one she apparently wrote in half term.
It’s depressing just how much these two are trying to make Isla’s mum jealous. It won’t be working. She’ll also probably not be watching your account as she will have more class in her belly button than the two of you. Plus, as a midwife (or nurse?) she’ll be at work, putting in silly hours, wishing she was at home with her husband. But she’ll not complain about the blisters on her feet, or how she’s probably not had enough water to drink that day. I imagine she knows what life’s priorities are right now.
Grow the hell up, because your children are already more mature than you.
