I don't have anyone else to speak to about it. And I hope this makes sense. I'm just venting really to get this off my chest.

So I'm a teacher and about 2 weeks ago a parent that I'm pretty close with, as in professional relationship, asked me who she can email her daughter's scholarship to.

I gave her the email address of the person (it's the assistant principal) and she replied and said she'd bcc me in the email.

So her and I went back and forth after she'd sent it to the assistant principal commenting on the photos and I told her it's a lovely application etc.

Then today she sends me an email out of the blue about her son and his meltdown last night - he's on the spectrum and I don't believe I'm allowed to discuss what he was doing according to PC guidelines.

So I forwarded the email on to the assistance principal (her son is currently at my school) because the assistant principal deals with wellbeing.

UNBEKNOWNST TO ME she'd sent me the email on the SAME THREAD where we were chatting about the scholarship. She had already submitted the scholarship I was just commenting on the pics and telling her how lovely it is.

This would be exactly why I'm unfit for work for the next 2 weeks because I can't pay attention.

I'm mortified truly I want to dig a hole in the ground and bury my head there for the rest of my life

SHE doesn't know I inadvertently forwarded it but now the ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL does.

I didn't breach any guidelines because it was after it had been submitted.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
