A letter from Nov 19, 2025

Dear Future Me, Hey, so. Found out mum's leaving dad yesterday. You'll be back at uni now, living hopefully in the house we really like? I don't know how much more I can take, if we aren't. She hasn't told him yet, says she'll probably move out in a couple weeks or less. What am I supposed to do? What about me? I can't leave Marmalade. I can't leave dad on his own. I can't stop crying. It hadn't hit me yesterday when I called Tom, not really, but now I can't stop thinking about everything that's going to change. Nothing will be the same. I can't do this?? I can't? What am I meant to do?? I can't talk to dad normally knowing he doesn't know yet. It feels like she's leaving me too. She's taking O with her. And the dogs.
