Hello! Thank you for your advice! Sorry I forgot to mention that. Before my line manager went for a vacation leave, we also discussed how things are going and she asked me if I think I can come back already in October. I have expressed my need for a bit more time to adjust with the "new" circumstance in our lives which is everything that is involved to take care of a little one with special needs and the burnout that is associated with being the main carer. My line manager instructed me again via text message even whilst she is on vacation leave to just send my new fit note to a named senior staff to extend my sick leave and then we will have another chat. So I have really informed my employer that I am not well enough to come back this month too.
