To expect some contact from DS’s dad during this.

I have DS from a previous relationship and my youngest with my partner.

So covid-19 is a perfect excuse for my ex not to see him. He contacted me the other day to say that he won’t be seeing DS as he doesn’t want to risk his younger children catching it (they have always come first). This doesn’t bother me at all. I’d rather have DS home with me anyway and I was going to suggest not seeing him.

This is all fine because I have DS home with me safe.

But, aibu to expect some form of contact from him? A text, a phone call? So he can speak to DS. He hadn’t seen him in a month or two anyway - he doesn’t live very far away. Does he not miss him? DS has texted him from my phone a couple times. It was clearly Ds. I don’t think his girlfriend unless him to text DS to and from my phone. I don’t think she likes him having any contact tbh. My son hardly knows his younger siblings.

Aibu to think we should be reaching out to our loved ones any way we can?

He sounds a very neglectful hurtful father.
Great he has you but it must be difficult seeing your son hurt.
