I don't know if it was mentioned in here before but it's not that Bianca can never get exposed to others. Ioan's point was that she was taking medication (steroids I believe, she mentioned it on Insta) that makes you vulnerable for a couple of days (she takes them when she is relapsing, so very rarely). That on times that she isnt taking those medications she is travelling is a pretty irrelevant argument that is keep getting forwarded here. Ioan could have suggested however to do this theme park visit on a different date, but we don't know how this convo continued, Alice cropped one of his responses out (you can see that he replied). I also don't agree that he should have moved a week into a hotel (or her), seems a bit unreasonable for something that can be easily rescheduled.
I also don't think the childs behavior should be minimized and no, I dont blame her. She stole money, hacked his IG and posted horrible comments, and then threatened CPS over him not paying her expensive school. There was also a video Alice posted once on IG that showed her facetiming the kid while she was at her fathers, and she acted up over not getting her favourite drink. Alice was recording this over a second phone. Sure, it's a cry for help, but there is no doubt in my mind that his lawyers will have told him that this child has a high chance to be used by her mother to come up with bigger accusations if in his custody. So it's very reasonable to me to insist on therapy before resuming to see the child. And I believe this happened a few months ago actually.
In that sense I cant hold that UK trip against him. From what it appears his lawyers were negotiating therapy at the time (and got it months later), he was not going to see them anyway, so why not visiting family? I think the OZ trip is more problematic as it fell right when he finally got therapy and visitation, but if it was scheduled I kinda get it, he could have made the sacrifice here though imo, but in the grand picture it really doesnt make a difference if they see him after 15 months again or after 15 months and 1 week, but w/e. All other trips were work trips.
Obviously he is not perfect, moving so quickly together with the girlfriend was for example not smart, even if the damage was already done way earlier. I'm sure he is a flawed father, like most are, but some criticism here is pretty stupid. In my opinion it's bad parenting if you think you should do everything a child wants (especially one that threatens and when it affects someones health), and contrary to what people believe you are not a good parent if you break laws or put yourself in danger of legal action in order to see your child. You cannot just take the kids and leave if the other party doesnt let you, and the bar to remove children from a parents care is extremely high in California, especially for wealthy people who have a nanny, which is why it almost always ends in 50/50 custody. I also don't think you can hold it against him that he tried to settle out of court first, it saves a lot of pain, like having to reveal all those awful things in court documents. And it's also not wrong to file for joint custody, it shows a level of cooperation, and with the charges against her it will be difficult for Alice anyway.
Having said all this, while I certainly don't think that Ioan is a saint, it does concern me where the focus of this discussion is. Even if it's casually prefaced in some posts here that Alice is terrible it then moves on to exclusively trash her victim, her role in the struggles Ioan and the kids have in their relationship seems to be greatly underestimated.
