OP’s ex-husband vanished, leaving unanswered questions about child support and family

“NTA a million times! He abandoned his sick son because he didn’t want to take care of him. He abandoned his wife, leaving the entire weight of taking care of said sick son on her shoulders, all because the attention was not on him. He got remarried and cut off all contact with his sick son. He didn’t even care enough to pass on his number when he changed it. He was NOT a good father or husband. He had come storming in probably because his ego was bruised when he was told about his son. And he’s even making your son’s death all about him. Show these comments to your ex and your dad, though I think only the latter will apologize.”

Ex’s anger may be due to guilt. NTA, stay strong
