I can't put this in AIBU as MNHQ will move it to the CV topic
But AIBU to think my children and I are expendable?
No underlying conditions. No reason for us to be unduly concerned. Beloved mum has cancer, so I haven't seen her or DDad for ages. DSis has a partner who is an ICU doctor so I'm not seeing her either. Fine.
But everything that mattered to me has gone. I am sticking to the shitty, horrible, hated rules. So are my teenagers, because I make them. So I am stuck in the tiniest house known to mankind, with a yard the size of the proverbial postage stamp. They should be doing GCSE and A level and having fun with friends. They are in the house, other than for their allowed period of exercise.
Same here.
I have lost my income. I fall between every stool, so can claim nothing. I don't exist, in governmental terms.
Yet I still have to pay bills, feed my family, etc, etc, etc. It would be better if I caught CV and died, but nobody will fucking let me catch it because they are all busy socially distancing. The only things that have kept me going after I fought my way out of a marriage in which my DC were abused, was my RL friends, my lovely DP (whom I can't see, as we don't live together) and my work.
I now have none of these. Yet I am evidently regarded as less important than all the people I am helping to shield.
I take it that means I am expendable, and my teenagers likewise.
Very, very sad.
PS MNHQ please don't tell me to ring the Samaritans. I don't want someone to "listen". I want someone to make this go away.
