ex hasn’t seen 1.5 year old in over a year. We had a falling out and things were quite hostile and he was doing things that weren’t safe for the baby so contact stopped (apparently he’s clean now). He reached out last week and said his elderly dad was in hospital and asked if he could take our child to visit him in hospital as he may not see him again. I agreed, dropped our son off and waited in the car park. Tried to make handover as calm as possible and there were very few tears and apparently he settled very quickly. The visit lasted an hour and when I went in to collect my son, ex had asked me if he could start seeing him regularly which I agreed to.
He messaged me the next day to thank me for allowing contact to resume and I replied saying it’s fine but we need to talk about contact going forward and to let me know when suits to talk about things - this was 3 days ago and I haven’t heard anything from him.
am I being unreasonable thinking that he should be making a bit more of an effort with our son considering he has been absent most of his life? I understand that his dad is ill but he is still going to work and active on social media. Doesn’t take much to text me back.
