dear matty,
i'm a teenager now - thirteen years old today. it's weird to think that this is my fifth letter to you. you've never replied, and i don't even know why i'm sending this letter.
i don't know anyone else who's only connection to their dad is through reading tabloids and fan accounts on instagram. i heard you're in a relationship with some girl now. i hope your life is fūcking amazing, because mine's falling to pieces.
mum tried to take an overdose a few days ago. it wasn't serious, she only took twelve pills, but it was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me. she's refused to go to the hospital or let me tell anyone, so nobody (except me, and now you) knows what happened.
on tuesday night you were probably playing a gig somewhere in front of a crowd of screaming fans. i was holding mum's hair back while she threw up. i made her sleep in my bed with me that night because i thought she was going to die.
anyway. she's okay now, and she promised she won't do it again. that's what matters.
i've got a boyfriend and i think i love him. he actually listens to me and he's the one person who i can rely on. i spent this evening with him. no party, no friends, no presents. not this year.
all i had was a few hours with my boyfriend, drinking beer and listening to bad music in his car. he's sixteen - that's why he can buy us alcohol and drive a car.
this year hasn't been good. my friends and i spent most of our time drunk or in tears. for the first time, i failed english along with most of my other exams.
i hardly ever see mum. she's either at work or asleep, so she doesn't notice me, or anything else. i can't remember the last time i had an actual conversation with her.
i don't even want you to reply to this letter. i want you to do something that will make a difference. send over maintenance like you're supposed to, come and visit,own up to the fact that you have a teenage daughter who you've ignored for the past five years. do something.
please.
love margo xxx
