Eerie, Indiana Agony Aunt Challenge

[froodle]

Eerie is a town with issues. Whether it's shitty parenting, missing kids, the fact that the spectre of death haunts every pint of milk left on your doorstep or just an overly-amorous hominid pursuing a relationship with you against your will, the people in Eerie have problems, and they need help.

For this challenge, write a letter to an advice column from the POV of one of Eerie's beleaguered citizens, or the reply they might receive. Maybe you could write both, or maybe you could reply to someone else's cry for help.

Dear Agony Aunt

It’s is embarrassing to admit this but some years ago I fathered an illegitimate son with a married woman during a druken evening.

I have been paying child support and ensuring he and his brother have food and a place to stay however during my last interaction with him I realised that both children are being neglected in the family by their mother and her husband. The home is dangerously untidy, they are frequently left unsupervised and not fed what I would consider a suitable diet for a growing child.

My partner is insistent that we take at least my son into our home, however he does not understand the negative impact this would have on my career as a politician.

Is there any way you can think of that will placate him, and place my son and his brother into a better home situation?

Faithfully
Absent Father
