My heart goes out to Carol Ellson and her family, who were left in the lurch by an immature, irresponsible man.

Neil Ellson used his home computer to have chats with a Texan woman over the Internet.

Like a little boy playing with his Nintendo, the seriousness of what he was doing never occurred to him. But it's not just his infidelity, it is the way in which he has left his family in terrible debt.

Carol's children are helping her out and no doubt they are much more sensible than the man they called dad.

My message to Mr Ellson is grow up and get real.
