Name changed. Anyway, I received news via email that the bio dad of my children is “ill” they are older teens with SEND. I say ill because that’s all the information I have. He’s not seen them in over a decade. Mainly through not visiting and then they grew apart. I’ve always stayed in contact and offered the girls a relationship but they refused because they didn’t know him.
I have been told by email (from his wife) that he has been in hospital, he is seriously ill and that he is in recovery at home. Basically, a whole email about how he can’t financially support the youngest one anymore and this was a footnote at the end. I have asked for clarity and been told by his wife - no.
I am expected to tell them their dad is very poorly, with I don’t know what and without knowing what his recovery will look like. I have asked for more clarity and been told no. I have asked if I can contact him (always been amicable before) and been told no. AIBU not to tell them until I get the full story here?
