Am I being unreasonable to want help from boyfriend after miscarriage?

Not sure whether I’m asking too much from him but then again I didn’t make myself pregnant on my own.

Unfortunately Monday at 5 weeks I had a miscarriage. We both own our own houses so don’t live together currently and I have a 5 year old daughter. She unfortunately is not well with a terrible cough and is not sleeping.

I’m exhausted and just not coping getting hardly any sleep with her coughing. My body is sore and tired and I feel sad after loosing the baby and trying to push through with my daughter and hiding the pain.

I have told him I feel overwhelmed and he says nice words but they are of no physical help to me.

Should he be helping me with my daughter or is that too much? I’m fine normally just not at the moment at the night.

I have M.E and my daughter hasn’t slept in over a week so this on top has utterly wiped me out unfortunately. If I could sleep at night then it probably wouldn’t be so bad but takes a toll on my physically and mentally.

Hello, I had a miscarriage last week, asked my man for help but he didn't help out. Doctors had to call my dad to help pay for the bill. Unfortunately they didn't do a good job, I started bleeding again 3 days after the MVA. I went for a scan and found out that the baby wasn't well taken out. I needed another MVA procedure to remove everything. I didn't have any cash and I couldn't call my parents for help again. I asked him to help me out, he promised to send me money to go to the hospital. I went to the hospital, he never sent me anything. I was in a very bad condition, I was bleeding, the doctor had to call him. He still didn't do anything
Instead he texted me and told me that I have parents, I should call them for help. These words hurt me so much. I was his responsibility because he got me pregnant, and the child I lost was his. But he's shown no remorse, it's like he's happy a burden has been lifted from his shoulders. I couldn't call my parents, I had to sell some of my staff to get medical help. I thank God I'm okay now. I don't know what to do about this man. I loved him but I never mattered to him. His words hurt me so much. I prayed and cried to God about him. I'm hurting from his words. I never expected that from him.
