Ok so me and my Ex are no longer together and we have a child together. I have tomorrow and Tuesday off, normally I’d get him and have him overnight, no problem and never an issue.

I could choose to shirk my responsibilities but I don’t.

I’m classed as disabled and have had my benefits taken away from me. On Tuesday I am going to court to have a Tribunal to try and get them back.

Because of this I have so much I need to prepare for. In this day and age I think it’s wrong that if you have a lifelong illness that you will never be “cured” from that you’re made to feel the need to prove your illness.....

I have told my Ex what’s going on and she’s had a go and made me feel like a really shit Dad. As I said above I’ve never shirked any responsibility and would GLADLY see my son any time.

Just this week I have a lot going on. This is not something regular either, it’s a very rare occurrence etc.

My question to you is......is she right? Am I a bad parent?

TL;DR

My Ex is making me feel shit because I can’t see my son due to something important.
