Here we go again. It’s 09:26 and I’m sat here once again with a coffee in hand, admiring my daughter playing with her toys, fighting back the tears, wondering what my child did so badly to deserve to be put second by her shit father.

Dear ex, It's been a while now since I left you. We didn't end on good terms, but I think we can both agree that you were (and still are) an absolute cunt.
