How long until DD can see GP

[Bumpandus]

Hi I’m a single mum of 2.

My youngest goes between me and her father
My oldest hasn’t had contact with her father for years so my mam and dad usually help out with her (she has autism)

How long realistically do you think it will it be until she can go spend time with them so I can get some respite? I can see she gets anxious and jealous when her little sis goes to her fathers and she is still with me.

Sadly I don’t think anyone knows. Are your parents in a vulnerable category?

No they aren’t they are in their 50s

A few people on here have been saying if dad isn’t on the scene and they have children who have SEN can they visit a parent. The overwhelming answer always seems to be yes do it for your own mental health and essential you’ve just nominated your parents house to be the absent partners house. I understand the law is such that it doesn’t allow it as such but something to consider.

We have followed the rules strictly. I just don’t want to risk anything and end up back to locked down again I’d rather wait until we can be back to normal but I see so many people just visiting family now it’s so annoying what is the point of us who are sticking to the rules

I agree with your stance for what it’s worth, unless it’s dangerous for the child or lone parent to continue with the current situation ie either will have a mental breakdown/cause harm to themselves or each other.

We will carry on staying at home just us. I just hope they introduce like a bubble scheme or something so that she can see her GPs

If your parents act as pseudo parents then she can go. Your and her MH is important her.
