I am shielding, own my own with 3 children and haven't seen anyone since before Christmas.

I told my DM that if they isolate for 2 weeks we will visit as I haven't got a support bubble and I would feel safe to visit if that was the case.

This was agreed and I have found out that they have had people round and they're making me feel terrible for expressing concern about coming as they have totally disregarded my feelings.

I don't want to go, I'm vulnerable and so is DS3, please tell me your thoughts about this situation as they can be very manipulative towards me and make me feel like the bad guy.

You set your line and they've crossed it. It sounds like more manipulation on their part. You are perfectly within your rights to not go.

Its your call now. Sounds like they didnt have much regard for your safety. Its up to you whether you think the trip will be worth the risk.

You’re perfectly reasonable not to go. They shouldn’t have agreed to something if they weren’t prepared to follow through with it.

Don't go, OP. They have broken your trust and would potentially be putting you at risk.

That's shit of them. Could they not have followed the rules for 2 weeks for the sake of their own daughter? I would not go and I would be very clear as to why. They made a choice to go back on their promise and this is the consequence.
