I’m not surprised he has never been the greatest but then he always pulls the “ I’m
Her dad and I do care about her “ we love far apart ( his choice ) he currently lives somewhere with minimal cases, we live in central London.
I’m a single mum, to a very complex child. She has a life limiting disease, with lots of cares.
We were in hospital for 3 months before lockdown, and been at home in isolation : shielding now for 5 weeks. I came home to nothing as we hadn’t had time to stock up and it took 4 weeks to get a shopping slot etc. We have lost our breaks ( care and hospice etc ( . I have been managing all her cares at home including all IV stuff. Matinence would be very handy right now to ( he is still working ) 5 weeks ago I rang him, he said he would ring me back. I’m still waiting I have rang, I have sent messages which he has read. He is 4 weeks late on matinence, he hasn’t asked if she ok ? If she has everything she needs etc I’m feeling considerably alone and it’s just the 2 of us in the house. I have to deal with having very little for weeks ( which is slowly sorting out ) taking on all her cares, dealing with her being heart broken as her make a wish was cancelled which I know in the grand scheme of things that’s not what’s important but it was to her.
I have been locked in the house with her for 5 weeks minus a few days when she went in septic and we couldn’t get an ambulance for hours and I was trying my best to keep her stable. I’m so hurt and angry that he hasn’t even bothered to check that everything is ok this end to the point where I’m like I can’t deal with him anymore.
We are not allowed out at all, we live in a tiny flat, pretty sure she is bored of me and I am struggling to keep her engaged on anything.
Sorry I know this has basically just been a rant but I had no where to off load.

Well he sounds like a pip doesnt he. Looks like hes NOT going to step up so its probably less dissapointing in the short term to not expect anything.

Contact the CSA or whatever they're called and MAKE the maintenance happen if you can. But don't rely on him.

Seriously. Your sound like super mum. You're doing an amazing job. Please reach out to your local community groups that can help you at this time. Xxx

@Wouldkillforabigmac what was her make a wish? I ask because if there’s any way to do a virtual version I’d start a petition and share the hell out of it for you. You sound fantastic.
