I'm posting to gauge opinion and flag up a situation which I think is probably fairly common, but I haven't seen any discussion on.
I have a 10 yr old son, I've been separated from his mum for 5 years. We have an arrangement where I have him overnight on one weeknight and at the weekend. Two weeks ago I had a cold, so considering the current situation I didn't take him for a fortnight. I'm symptom free now, as is my partner.
On Wednesday his mum refused to let me have him. Her 80yr old mum was Ill over Christmas, and currently my son and my ex live with her mother to help her recovery. She has cited this, saying they're in quarantine, as her reason to stop me seeing my son. I'm fairly certain she'll say no to me having him tomorrow. I understand her concerns, but considering the country isn't in total lockdown, and my son's adult half brother and sister are still coming and going to and from the house, is it reasonable to deny me access? If we go into lockdown obviously I'll willingly stay away. But as this could last for an indefinite period I'd like to see my son at least once more before this happens. Is it reasonable for me to push for this?
Is anyone else here in a similar situation, if so, how are you dealing with it?
