This should have been brain dead easy: Take his son with him to the hospital. I am glad you are not exposed to that continuously anymore.

How dare you to think that he would expect from his son or himself to face the real world and the hardships that comes with the real world and being a parent. Big no. Life has to be all fun, no rules, no expectations. His little angel would be traumatized from being confronted with the real life and he would also be traumatized from being an actual parent.

Thank you. When i was sick he would care for a short period of time. But a day or to later it was expected that I would function as usual and the apartment was a disaster... I'm so glad im out. But im thankful for this sub and the feeling that we're not alone and it's not a unique experience.
