Buddy this is why im not coming home yet. I can not come home yet is because i am studying and want to get better. I want your dad to change a lot such as do the washing up, get a better job, etc. I am studying for exams and getting better. Your dad and i have had you when we were very young at the age of 23. We had got married at the same time. We had grew up very young together. I want your dad to get a better job by getting a taxi job off someone. Buddy, i love you and your dad very much i just cant come home yet. If i come home your dad and i will still be argueing all day long. I had gone because i hadnt got enough lifetime with your dad and we hadnt got the money to buy buddy the new trousers for school instead of him getting slagged by mr.normington and have to get a new bag for him aswell.

The reson I can’t come back is because i have to study for my exams and I left beacause I had arguments with my husband.I might come back when I feel like it. When the exams are over imight think about returing home . When I do I will let u know when I come back . Please don’t tell dad where you where. I have a new job that allows me to commutiie with my relitave.I Think your dad went back to jail because I have not seen him for sometime I heard that he had killed a person and is in jail for life but when he returns out of jail he will be glad that he came back to see the family and then

Buddy I know you are finding this hard but there are a lot of things you don’t understand.
Your father is hard to live with and I can’t depend on a guy who can’t keep a job, or stay out of trouble and jail and I always worry about him and you.
I left because I feel I didn’t enjoy and didn’t experience life as I should have I had you when I was very young .
And anyway I’m doing so great I currently live with my colleague from a computer course I’m getting really good at and also if I pass the exams I will get a better opportunity and better money I’m going in the same company but bigger responsibility.
My main goal is to finish the coarse and get a good job I really don’t know what’s next’s know you are sad and want me to come back but right now I’m just confused and got lot of things on my mind
I promise you I will think about it hope you will come by here are some money I want you to take them and take care of yourself.
Don’t worry about me I am fine.

I left my house hold not because my son took £5 pound from my handbag. I left my house because I had things to think about; I had a couple of exams coming up and need to study. I am staying in my friend’s apartment at the moment. It is nice to get away I do miss home and I do miss my husband and my son. the thing is that I am just not ready to go home yet I have a lot of things to be thinking about and if I go home I will just want to leave again. I’m going to meet up with my son I will ring him during the week and I can tell him why I left. I will ask him does he want to meet up and we can go get a cup of tea. On Friday after school I picked Buddy up from school and we had a day out. Buddy asked me was it because of him that you left, I said to Buddy no it’s not your fault that I left it’s because I can’t really cope but son I can tell you hear and now I will be home very soon but not just yet i am not ready yet but you can not tell your father I was meeting up with you today. I will ring you during the week I have to go love you son see you soon.

Buddy love I know it has been forever since you saw me. I don’t expect you to run in to my arms and everything will be ok. Son all you need to know is that I love you and when I have gotten everything sorted in my life. Well....that’s just it I don’t know what will happen after that. I still need to think.

I cannot come home yet Buddy because I and your dad have to sort things out. I want to come home Buddy but I’m hurting to much at the moment to come home. I need to live my life and get a better education before I come home. I need to learn about things before I can come home. I need to know what I’m going to say to your dad first and tell him I don’t want to fight. I will be home Buddy but just not at the minute me and your dad have to sort things out. I and your dad kept fighting because he doesn’t understand what I mean when I say he has to change. He hasn’t got a job to make money I’m the only one in the family making money and your dad keeps gambling all our money away and it has to stop or we will be liven in the streets soon.

The reason why I left is because I’m sick of just going to the same job every day I’m so sick of it. I’m going to a course. To get a better job and I’m going to buy a new house and get lots of money and bring you to a new house. So don’t worry i will come back for you I’m just gone for a short break.

Hello son, a lot has happened over a few weeks because I have left my home and family. My head was all over the place so I need sometime alone and not with people bothering you. I haven’t lived properly yet, I started to young in live, I had buddy when I was very young and got married when I was young and didn’t have time to do stuff for myself.im really sorry but I need some time alone to fix things, all I ever do is take care for use and cook use food, I need a break your father can help you while I’m away. The real reason while I’m away is because I have to study for exams and I need to pass to have a good life and a good job as well. I can’t come home yet so don’t worry at least you know where I am now, and I’m not staying on the streets I’m in an apartment with my friend. I know you’re sad but I left a note with my address on it son, you can come anytime you want. I will always be here if you need help or want to talk, I will see you soon, bye.

dear buddy
I left you and your father because i needed space. It wasnt because or you or your father it was just me. I wanted to get away and do this study course and I didn’t want you or your father laughing at me because i wanted to do well. I want to make my life better and then come back and show you i can be better mom than i was before. I love you I really do, but I just needed to get away to clear my head for a good while. Me and your father might fight but we love eachother no matter what. I will be back some day dont worry , I love you. I had you very young I want to experience my life. I will be back dont worry , but know that I left I duno if I can face comeing back to see you and your father not talking to me and looking at me as if i was someone you really hate or dispise. I love you’s I really do but I cant come home just yet I know you and your father love me but what will happen if I do there would just be a awkward silence in the house and I dont want that im sorry I be back in a few weeks , love you mom
