ExH - why does he think I care if he is ill?

[54isanopendoor]

Backstory - I have been disabled for nearly 20 years which was caused by something to do with the marriage (long story but trust me on this).
ExH didn't give much support during repeated surgeries.
Two children were born both of whom were later diagnosed with ASD.
Neither live independently & both require quite a lot of support.
ExH did't give much support there either. He does no 1:1 with either of them.
He moved out 2.5 yrs ago.
Yesterday, whilst in the company of my 18 y/o he 'sneezed & 'felt a pop '.
He called for an ambulance but then decided to catch a bus to the hospital with Ds. He was seen quickly, it is a muscle issue: given painkillers & discharged.
I was out with our other child, 40K away. He phoned me 7 times & left garbled messages that at first implied Ds had had an accident. I drove home to collect Ds from hospital, explaining to Dd on the way why we were going but that Dad was OK. I arrived to find exH in the cafe. Shortly after he ran for a bus to get home.
Today I've had a series of texts about his health.
Why on earth would he think this is appropriate.?
sorry, more of a rhetorical Qu as obviously he's an attention seeking TWAT who doesn't give a stuff if he worries his kids either but I just needed a vent really.

Hopefully he will be ok.

He's absolutely fine!
Point is, when we have not been he's nowhere to be seen.
I wouldnt' expect someone I had left 2.5 yrs ago to care, so why does he?

Self obsession. The only thing they are interested in is themselves.

My ex insisted on telling me all about his strained shoulder and sore achilles, and how poorly he felt, while I was going through chemo. 😂

How have you chosen to reply to the twat? A thumbs up maybe?

I ignored it.
Just as the gift I sent to my exMIL (a really nice small canvas style pic of the kids in a format I've been sending for years. She has dementia & likes to be able to hold it, put it in her bag, & stick it back on the wall). Obvs she can't reply due to her medical issues but No 'received/ thxs' from family, inc exH. All Twats then.

He thinks you are interested as he thinks the world revolves around him. I would reply to each message I think you meant to send this to someone else.

'Is this meant for me?' That's all he'd get in reply.

I have one of these exes and am always tempted to reply like this!

He sounds utterly self obsessed. I would be going very low contact with him and give him no attention whatsoever. Same with his family apart from your ex Mil. You definitely made the right decision leaving him so congratulate yourself on that!
