NTA. Emotional support during a medical crisis faaaaar outweighs the importance of story time. He should have arranged for someone to watch the kids so he could be there for you. How could anyone call you the A H? He’s not even checking up on you at all. Doesn’t sound like he cares much. I disagree with the ‘children first always!!!’ people. It doesn’t benefit the children if their parents don’t have a strong, stable bond. Parents also model what a relationship should be. I would want my kids to be supportive partners and empathic people.
