Email from Sam to Charles:
Author's note:
Although it was very difficult to get any sort of timeframe from the last series, I'm basing this on Sam being early teens, 11 or 12. Therefore, Molly will have been in his life for about 5 years.
Dear Dad,
Molly has just left after explaining that you and her have decided to split. She would not go into reasons why, would not hear a word against you but I know you have done this, just like you did to Mum. She tried to hide it but she was clearly devastated, I know she loves you, how could you do that to her, or to me? You know I love her!
I'm not a kid anymore Dad! I know you choose the Army over Mum and from the fact that you are on tour again when you were meant to be taking medical discharge I know means you have chosen the Army again.
Molly was such a great step-Mum to me, I can't believe you have been soo selfish again. Each time, you chose the Army not only are you doing it over the woman you are meant to love but also over me! I know I want Molly in my life and you have shown time and time again that all you want in yours is the Army so I writing to tell you my choice – I don't want you in MY life! All you do is hurt me and the people I love!
I don't want to see you when you return to the UK.
Sam

I see this as his gut reaction, I may attempt to do another Sam chapter at a later date. Charles' Mum is up next
