So last wends my DS had a unscheduled stay in hospital, a routine appt became an over night stay. Despite NRP not being involved in DS life for the last 2 years except. Christmas visit, on the Thursday morning I rung him to let him know where DS was and why, I told him the ward name and bed number, To which he said "I'll see what I can do" which annoyed me but I let it slide. No text, call or visit. Friday we got a text saying "how is he?" I have yet to reply because I'm livid.

He's quit capable of playing happy family's with the OW kid but ours is a afterthought. WWYD, I understand he has a right and morarally I should let him know, but I feel I did my but in telling him DS was there.

Why would you want him to visit,if he hasn't seen DS in 2 years?

I'm not surprised you are cross with him, but you did the right thing to tell him. He chose not to visit, that's not in your hands.

Not so much that I wanted him too. I wanted him to want to for DS's sake.

When My DS was in hospital I chose not to tell Ex..His best mate visited and he wasn't interested only wanted his mummy..

Ex was more likely to create a problem ..

Been in hospital with a child is very lonely and I spent a lot of time wondering when/ if I should inform EX ( condition was life threatening but is fine now) I could see nothing to gain ..

I don't blame you been furious..I wouldn't bother replying either or further contact...You will only get the same response
