A month ago my closest friend’s husband died from this shit virus. She has 3 children, 10, 6 and 2. The 6 year old boy was always very shy, polite, quiet. He was the sweetest and now he’s become and I quote “an angry, violent monster” He’s hitting and biting my friend and his sister (10yo). He is constantly disobedient and in a rage. I witnessed this as during one of his rages she FaceTimed me in the hope it would get him to settle down but it only made him angrier. The 10 yo is also really angry and keeps saying she hates her mum and blames her for her dad’s death. My friend has no other family and the strict lockdown rules where she lives means no one can visit her anyway. She is at a loss & doesn’t know what to do. She’s not coping. She and her DH were together going since primary school.
She says she has only me to talk to. I don’t mind at all but I don’t have children and want to help her in some way. Are there any books or blogs I can refer her to or read up myself?
