me and my ex have been living together again and spent xmas together. we have a 21month old son.

my ex is emotionally and physically abusive.

i have chucked him out for the 2nd time, just over 2 weeks ago. last week our son became very ill and was hospitalized i stayed with my son but my ex didn't see him while we were in hospital and has only visted our son at my home when one of his parents were present and only for half an hour each time and he was very ignorant to me. i know people think my ex is no good but i think his hurting too. or do you think his angry with me, i don't know what to do as i am feeling hurt and upset from all of this and trying to take care of my son. i need my ex to be there for me and my son, as my son needs care and spcial attention at the moment.should i ask for his help and involvment?

mommyofthree agony auntI think his visiting with someone else present is a good idea, since you say he is abusive. He is the boys father, he should take some responsability for him during his illness, he should provide atleast 50% support financially and emotionally for your son. I am confused about how you want him to be there for you during this though, if you are no longer a couple his only obligation is to the child, which is probably better since he does not treat you well. Good luck.
