I think all the strain and stress of the lockdowns have put extra strain on an already full plate. I was a struggling single parent having escaped domestic violence. My parents are aged so we don’t get much support so the only break I get from caring for three children one of whom is autistic is when they are at school. The lockdowns have been exhausting and have left my physical health problems as well as worsening mental health problems. Of which will set me back months or maybe years from being able to get back to the work place
