Struggling with guilt and feeling low.

I’m not someone prone to depression, but I’ve found myself crying and feeling so low. A complicated family set up hasn’t helped and decisions have been made about Christmas that I’m not in agreement with (and I think challenge the tier three regulations) but were organised pre the new tiers and if I disagreed with them now I’d be the bad guy and they can’t be changed.(they really can’t) Doesn’t help (and this is playing on my mind) that work have said if anyone does something risky that results in a case of COVID disciplinary action will be taken.(they have already done this to others) Added to the normal mental and physical burden of COVID, well I’m not in a good place. Strictly speaking I’m not talking about a wild party with lots of households mixing, my son has returned from uni (negative test) other single son who we have bubbled with(just Christmas Day)and ds3 who recently returned from abroad. But doesn’t that burst our bubble with single son? And are other sons actually allowed to stay with us? I’ve tried talking to dh and he manages to explain the rules so it’s ok, but I’m so stressed about it and worried we are now at huge risk and could get into trouble. I can’t relax and enjoy anything and can’t stop crying.

The son from uni is allowed to return home and you are allowed to bubble with your other son, the main rule is that then you all have to isolate if anyone within that bubble gets covid. The son from abroad; if he's returning home because he doesn't live anywhere else then that's not an issue, it counts as moving house.

How can your work discipline you? How would they know if you had broken any of the restrictions? Sounds like an awful place to work.

Abroad son is working abroad and has come home for the holiday. I feel for him as he would be alone, but blimey, I wish he hadn’t. It’s so complicated and he managed to get home just before the European flight ban was put in place.
I’ve warned them all not to put anything on sm.

Does your son use your house as his permanent address for banks and other correspondence? Also what tier were you in when he arrived and did he need to isolate/ has he isolated?

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 21/12/2020 22:13

He does use this as his address. We were and remain in tier three and he’s isolating until he can get the test to release.

Well then it's his permanent home, so he has a right to be there.
