Brief background dd has been ill for a few weeks with painful ribs seen dr several times given different painkillers none worked today she phoned dr as was worse and told him she thought about going to a & e which he said she could or go see him again. Dd decided to go to a & e, when she rang she was at new bf (been seeing him a couple of months) house so he was going with her but she wanted me to go as well. They came home and dh agreed to drive us and then pick us up, expected it to be busy and dh was to look after dgs. So far no problem, when we got to a& e wouldn't allow anyone in cubicle with dd so saw dr on her own, I sat in waiting area with her bf I was extremely worried and didn't feel like making small talk just sat watching cubicle, I know this may have been rude but I was really worried her breathing was now affected. Cutting story short dd was given medication and allowed home. Bf told her that when they came to pick me up prior to hospital I didn't say hello I know I did but I was also rushing around collecting all her medication so not in chatty mood, he also complained I turned my back on him in waiting room and was just sitting shaking instead of talking to him. Yes I did have my back to him I was watching for my dd yes I was shaking I was worried, aibu to expect him to be more understanding about how I was feeling instead of criticising me to dd. He is not a young teenager but a 38 yr old man so surely he should be more understanding. As soon as dd was told she could go home I was OK and chatting and was my normal self,but he still complained to her. Sorry long winded.
