How are you supporting your teen if an only child / singleton?

There have been several mentions of your death, and discussions about you dying. I think your daughter really probably was less capable of that discussion than you thought she was. The reality is - and I don’t know your condition but generally ppl who need immunologists aren’t the highest Covid risks - your risk of dying is a lot smaller than the weighty tone of your posts. I’m sure she feels that weight.

This! Completely unhealthy for the child.

Yeah. My cousin and her family didn't leave their condo for over 2 months. The kids never went outside, except to occasionally go on the balcony. She was too afraid to go through the halls or the elevator. It's not OK healthy for the kids. She was messing with their mental health b/c of her anxiety. The youngest is now showing that's she has unhealthy fears, as well. Her mom definitely impacted her.

This is so toxic and sad.
