The text

Exactly one year ago, I joined the Daily Mail to write a Saturday advice column and thisdesperate letter was to my page.

Dear Bel Mooney

My daddy left home when I was 2 so I don't know him. We lived with Dave who is nice and his 2 children Rosie and Tom.

I liked to have a sister, we shared a room, and a brother who is . !ow m"mmy says we are movin# away

to another ho"se and I won$t see them.

I will be at a new school and won$t know anyone, I am very sad. Dave says it is "% to m"mmy to say I can

see them b"t she says no.

I do not like where we will live, I want to see Rosie b"t she won$t be in my class so I won$t see her. I liked

havin# a bedroom with her and I knew Tom from when he was 2.

I am very sad b"t M"mmy is cross and says she doesn't like Dave any more b"t I still do beca"se he was

nice and as #ood as a daddy.

M"m won$t come to s%ort day at school like he did. &he works and I have to #et a key and be home "ntil

she is home.

an yo" make her let me see Dave and Rosie and Tom sometimes even if she won$t see them(
