Just found out about hereditary condition

[Indianafrankie]

Will try to keep this as short as possible but I’m so confused as to how I should be feeling right now. Basically my ex - father of my two children got called for the covid vaccine this week, I couldn’t understand why as he’s in his late 30s and perfectly healthy. I asked him why and he said well it’s because of the illness I had as a child remember? To which I said yes but that was a one off and it was cured right? Apparently no, it’s a lifelong condition and can be hereditary! I’m feeling angry right now and I’m not sure I should be, he never told me this he told me it was a one off, I live in another country with my children and I feel like this is something I should have been aware of, am I unreasonable to feel like this? Thank you

This is the sort of thing I would expect to be actively brought up. Is he irresponsible in general?

It’s a condition to do with low platelets and blood clotting which suppresses the immune system

Is that what he and his mother told you before, or is it something you've heard just recently? I'm no doctor, but if I knew that much about the illness I think I would have realised that it's hardly likely to be a one-off - it's not as if those are the symptoms you would get from an infection or injury..
