It is safe to say that present times are daunting and uncertain, and the lack of normality and routine can feel unsettling. The necessity to remain at home with limited opportunity to get that all-important fresh air and space can feel overwhelming and can cause cracks to show in what may be an already fractious or vulnerable relationship, and it may be difficult to know what to do or which way to turn.
