This was a deer from Lyme Park before I butchered it in my rushed cutout!
The first letter chosen for this section:
“Deer Steve,
I have this acquaintance, who we'll call "S" for anonymity. Apart from me, S has no friends which means no one sends letters into his blog. He's asked me to write in which I think is a vanity thing to make him look popular. I don't want to turn him down because I'm afraid he might hurt himself or someone else, but I'd feel like a fraud if I wrote in and pretended to be someone I’m not.
What should i do?
Yours truly confused and concerned,
Anon
Cheltenham”
If I were put in this situation, I would find a way to approach S in a calm and mature fashion. You should find a gentle method of communication that will allow him time to absorb the information slowly at his own pace. This way you are more likely to avoid any serious repercussions. I would suggest writing a letter or an email. Perhaps a gentle discussion could follow -ask him how he feels and ensure that he feels loved. I always find honesty is the best solution provided you go about it in the correct way.
On a side note, I do feel sorry for S and I’m glad I’m not in that situation.
edit added:
I’d like to say thanks to my Mum for writing in with that letter. Sorry I missed your call, I got your message though, and I’m feeling fine. Love you too Mum.
