McCartney -,
What the fuck! What right have YOU got to buy Julian his first guitar? That's my role as his father. If you want a son, have one of your own. Keep your fucking hands off mine!
John.

John,
Nice to know that my actions actually evoke some kind of fatherly feelings towards Julian. Or maybe, just maybe it's jealousy because I've ALWAYS had a better relationship with him, even when you and Cyn were together!
He's a great kid - always has been and I've been a big part of his life ever since he was born. Why should I change now?
Get some balls Lennon - do some thing real for your son before it's too late!
Paul.
May 1973
Dear Paul,
I'm sorry you had to put up with such appalling abuse from John about Julian.
Paul, you know how much I've always valued your friendship and suuport for all the years I've known you. Even when John and I were together and he was being a total bastard, you kept me together, telling me how much he loved me. I thank you for that Paul.
The thing is, as much as I know how much Julian loves being in contact with you, I've had to explain to him that his dad doesn't want him to be in contact with you anymore. So I'm going to have to tell you that I can no longer allow you to be in contact with Julian. I'm so sorry Paul. I know you've been more of a father figure to that Julian than John's ever been. We both love you dearly for that too.
Take care Paul.
Love to the family.
Cynthia.

Dear Cyn,
I respect what you have asked me to do. I'm sorry if I've inadvertantly caused problems between you and John. I hope Julian's not too upset by everything. Remember Cyn, you and Julian will ALWAYS have a friend in me and you can contact come what may.
Take care, both of you.
Paul.

John,
How dare you tell mum I can't have contact with Paul! He's been my friend since I was little and I like being in touch with him! Despite what you think, he doesn't try to act like he's my dad! Heather, Mary and Stella are so lucky to have a dad like him. I've WISHED for a long time he was my dad, not you!
I don't want anything more to do with you - realistically would it be that much of a change in my life if I stopped all contact with you? NO! I'll have a dad that cares when mum gets married later this year. Keep out of my life.
Mum doesn't know I've written this to you. Don't start giving her or Paul shit because of this. This is my opinions and my choices. You've brought it all on yourself.
I hate you at this moment.
Julian
August 1973
Dear John,
I've tried and tried to talk to Julian about what'sgone on. He won't talk or listen. He's angry with you, me, life and the world. He'll come round in time. You've burnt your bridges with him at the moment. You just need to give him time.
Cynthia
October 1975.
John,
How do you think I felt when I read in the paper that you've now got a new son and that you're 'over the moon?' Poor kid, having a bastard like you as a parent! I wonder how long it will be before you can't be bothered with him either!
At least my stepfather is all the father I need! He's been there for me and mum for the last 3 years. I don't think you managed that much time for the whole of your marriage to mum.
Julian.
