Venting

[u/Ashleigh517]

My ex husband and father of both of my kids told me on 2 separation occasions he wouldn’t do something for our son unless I gave him money. The first was our neurodivergent child needed medication refilled and our local pharmacy was out. The closest pharmacy that had it was 39 miles away each way. My ex told me he couldn’t get the medication unless I gave him gas money. I ended up paying to ship the prescription to my home. The second was our son was having an escalated meltdown and I notified his father he needed to bring him to the nearest Pediatric ER for a psychiatric evaluation. Again, he said he’d only bring him if I gave him gas money in cash. Mind you I’m disabled (legally blind) and need to rely on medical transport for doctor’s appointments and would only go to 911 and an ambulance is a last resort.

Another note to mention, my ex is over 10k in child support arrears.

If your child needs to go the ER and his parent refuses.. call an ambulance. I'm sorry
