Is DH being akward, or am I oversensitive?

I'm recently separated from DH. He moved out 3 months ago and has had limited contact with the DC since. His parenting is a bit dubious, he has ADHD and does not always pay enough attention to parenting to keep the DC safe (they are 6, 8 and 10 - 10 yo has autism).

We agreed that he would draw up a parenting plan before the DC did any overnights with him. He has sent me a draft, which took nearly 10 weeks to appear. I sent back my comments within 2 days. He has yet to reply...

So I asked him to arrange a time to meet with a mediator to talk through the plan, and gave my availability. He replied, after a week, just to ask when I'm available.

We have loads of issues with him not reading emails, not checking diaries/calendars, not being on time, etc. When we were living together, I would just repeat myself endlessly and check in with him to make sure he knew what was going on.

Do you think he's being intentionally akward and unresponsive? I really don't want to have to micromanage his time with the DC or our communication now we are separated. Is it unreasonable of me to just leave him to get on with this at his own pace, even though it means the DC are not seeing him much?
