I am their daughter, and it is not right for parents to abandon their children. If they did not want children, then they should never have participated and lead the child on, and ultimately completely break their heart.
You cannot become a dad, and abandon your child. It is cruel, dishonourable, and dishonest.
It is dishonourable to place pride and your own fears of life in place of your child. You should do the best for them, and think about their future, without favouritism for one child (Louise).
If one child is to end up poor, then they should be supported, and never ignored or fade into the background over a blood relative because they are richer.
The poor are the ones who need help, in every circumstance.
I have lost everything. You have completely broken my heart. I always loved you like a dad, your so-called real daughter never contacted you, and ignored your calls. I was always your daughter, and now you have completely abandoned me.
How would you have liked it if your dad had abandoned you? For all the values you support as a dad and a father, you don't seem to adhere to any of them.
And Philipa, well, I don't know if she has had any say in this, but I'd assume she'd support her daughter to the demise of another person, so I wouldn't ask for her opinion on this.
And mum and nan, I think they agree with me. They are afraid of telling you what they really think of you and what you've done.
