Feel unsupported

Hi ladies, just wanted to get your views on this situation, My son was very ill having breathing difficulties so rang 111 and they sent out a ambulance and my partner not the dad to my children didn't want to get out of bed, until I asked him for some support. Is that as bad as I think that is?

Yes, that is bad.

Did they take your son to the hospital?

Yes I'm currently in hospital with him now, he is on oxygen. I just wondered if I was overacting because of the circumstances,this is the most terrible thing to see your child so ill and the fact of little to no support from partner has shocked me

Yes, that sounds pretty bad. What exactly did he do?

Sorry your son is so poorly Without much context yes it sounds like he was really unsupportive.

But at what point did you ask for support? Was he aware of how poorly your son was? How old is your son and how long has the partner been in your/his lives? What was his reaction when you asked for support?

If he was fully aware of the situation and just couldn't be bothered to get out of bed that's really poor. If he thought things weren't so serious or that you had the situation in hand or if this is an older teenage child he doesn't have much involvement in I suppose that explains why he might have felt it was okay to leave you to it.
