Dear H aged 4
Next year you will meet your future husband. However you will have to endure being married to the wrong man first so be patient. (That won’t be your strong point by the way)
Your Mum has been through shite in her life and because of this she won't be all that you need her to be and she will hurt you. She does love you though. You will need reminding of this when you are an adult as well as a child, quite a few times.
Be close to your sister even when she irritates you or you will miss lots of time with one of your greatest friends. Also be honest with her and tell her you think her husband is a lowlife for beating her MUCH earlier than you will.
When you are 15 you will meet husband number one. He will be totally wrong for you and will give you heartache day after day. He will however give you your first son so you must not turn him down. He will also give you an insight into drink and gambling problems that may help you to help others later in life.
Carry on going to music school as long as possible you never know where it could take you.
Take the opportunity to go to Drama school if you are offered it in favour of starting work at 16. Again you never know unless you try.
When you know for sure you don’t love husband number one be brave earlier and leave. Don’t leave it another year.
MAKE the midwives, consultants & doctors LISTEN to you in your second pregnancy. It may change the outcome.
Do NOT be rushed to hospital from work halfway through pregnancy number 3 in an ambulance. It’s only constipation!!
Don’t sell your first house that you buy with Stormy because you are scared to be in debt. Just work harder, make him work harder and pay it off and definitely do NOT go into partnership in business.
Lastly, DADS...there will be a few. None of them give a damn in the real sense of the word so don’t stress about it. You’ll be strong in spite of them.
Love H (44)

PPS Roll those sleeves down and stop wearing your burgundy jumper tucked into your jeans.
Dear Me (aged 15)
Accept the fact that school bores you and your academic achievements are not a refelction on your intellect. Don't listen to the dumb fucks who will tell you that you are one of them, encourage you to feel stupid and weaken your assertion that you do in fact have the capacity to make decisions for yourself. You will work out that basing any decisions with consideration of the dumb fucks bites you on the arse in time and is you setting yourself up for a fall.
Learn quickly not to give a flying fuck about what anybody thinks of you and if someone else lacks an ability to communicate, it doesn't automatically follow that you don't understand, so don't take responsibility of things which just aren't yours.
Love yourself and others. Fuck everyone else!
Love Me X
PS Always be determined to never lose your sense of humour and you will never lose heart.
