Lone parent. Dd 9 with v challenging behaviour sen, pathological demand avoidance so exhausting trying to do anything.
The lockdown has actually helped her as demands are low- no school ( although she is entitled to go) I do the basic boundaries and demands of bedtime routine.
She hasn't brushed her hair for 2 months, hasn't washed for 10 days and this is normal.
But I usually have a break and it's just been us , intense lockdown at home.
No time for self care or time to myself .
She doesn't see her dad anymore ( his choice)and government guidelines say this can go ahead,
So aibu to send dd to 'contact' with sister who is very involved and essentially a co parent?
Social worker says yes, it's exceptional circumstances and will write a letter.
I'm still in two minds but getting desperate and depleted.
