My ex dumped our child for being covid positive

Hey,
So I need to vent as title says it all... days before Christmas my ex calls our child tested positive and he didnt want her actually said it on the drive oh I love you, I will miss you but I have to be careful didn't bother to take her to the testing place and had to think of his health I'm asthmatic and he knows it also have a disabled child knew that too. didn't bother calling her on Christmas day and she was crying her eyes out on the drive way. To busy with his IKEA family to care about his own child. Now we are self isolating bc we have it now. Been told by test and trace he should not have brought her round but what was I meant to do he dumped her and drove off like life depended on it to make it worse found out he's been bad mouthing me to her...

God that’s awful!

Wow. No wonder he's your ex.
Hope you're all okay and make a speedy recovery.
The bad-mouthing and the disregard for his own child's welfare needs some serious talking about when you're well enough. Are there any local services that could offer you family counselling when the covid situation allows?

It was his contact with her we were negative we all tested negative prior and I tested again me and my other child were still negative . He came back dropped her on the drive way said he loved her and would miss her and left... Never called her christmas I had only 2 txts she wanted to call him I let her he is her dad after all and he said how they love her and miss her how it couldn't be helped. we came down with it days later now he's moaning bc he can't have her she's negative but bc we are positive I told him he would have to wait as I'm not risking it spread if she becomes reinfected

What an utter git he sounds like! Your poor daughter too Angry.
No advice but Flowers for you all.

It's very unlikely that she will become reinfected from you and your other children so if you're happy for her to go to her dads I would allow it. One less person for you to care for while you're poorly too?

However I would make sure her dad knows how pathetic and irresponsible it was for him to rush her home when she was positive. Why is it ok for you to get it but not him? You're both her parents. He sounds like a total tit and I wouldn't be doing him any favours but think of what will benefit you and your daughter at the moment.

Contact social services to get their guidance on things. It might be in your child’s interest to only have supervised visits if he’s this abusive.
