AIBU to expect ex's family to be more concerned about son

Basically my ex was turfed out of the house we were both living in (separated since April) because he went to hit me, twice, then prevented me from leaving the house. The police were called, he went off for the night before going to his sisters on Sunday.

Hi family know of this incident because I contacted them in blind panic that he would hurt me and DS. His brother and his wife called me that night to talk to me and his other sister (he's 1 of 7). The next day his other sister messaged me and I called his mum. But since then, no one, bar his brother's wife has been in contact with us to see how we are.

My son was told by his dad on Saturday that he was leaving and not sure when he would see him again (shithead) and his family know this. Yet not 1 of them has contacted me to see how DS is.

As he is their nephew and grandson, I'm really quite pissed off about this. I have always had a good relationship with them, but I don't know what to think now. It's like they don't care. The 1 person to contact me and see how we are, is not even a blood relative.

AIBU to expect a phonecall or message to check up on DS and show concern in some way?

Well now you know where your ex gets his values from.
You need to move on and not think about them. If they want to have a relationship with your child, they can make the effort to form one. What your child does not need is contact with people who will minimise the actions of his "father".

Agree with dollies. You now know where he gets his values from.
My ex's family have never asked after DC. Its like they have just airbrushed DC out of the picture.
