Aw no Kate, usually I'm knocking about at silly o clock too! So sorry on top of the stress of covid there's a breakdown in a friendship to process. Are you sure she's not being taken advantage of because she's vulnerable?
Donkeys years ago my sister was in a similar situation when she had a breakdown?

If she does need some help and support with her mental health, then she will kick back against it initially, if she's a good friend id step away but say you'll be there if she needs you.

I'd be tempted to tell the guy to back off too or risk his wife finding out...but that's just me

it's been a grim year for all of us, the worst in my life time, and that's saying a lot

People who are normally very steady and easy going are struggling, so when that foundation goes, it becomes very difficult for everyone.

My biggest issue now is with other remote family members. Some are happy to break the restrictions saying they are careful ... others not, and it's leading to arguments that would never have occurred under any other circumstances. It's a really crap year
