To: I was 11 when my father passed away. He told me I’m soon going to be the man of the house.
Me: I can think of worse fates. Although your circumstances are a bit different to most, look at the good things you have achieved by having 3 kids by your mum and getting s** on, at an early age.
Better to let everyone think you are the man in the house and the kids are your kids as they are and leave things that way, it would be far to complicated if this got out and would harm everyone, but your kids most, because they are innocent in all of this and things should remain that way.
The things you miss, not having done, are what happens in life – I have a few things I wish I’d been able to have done, but it never happened.
You have a loving relationship with everyone and that is what is most important in life and what we all seek to achieve, but rarely do.
