I should have known

After being married a short time and having a newborn baby, my n husband went out of town for work. Our child was 3 weeks old and started running a fever. I called the doctor who told me to take him to the er. When I arrived I learned any fever in a child under under 6 months is automatic hospitalization. I kept trying to call my husband, but got no answer. We were there 3 days before my husband came back into town and learned where we were. I had been there alone all that time without even a change of clothes or personal hygiene products I needed like nursing pads. I had not called any one else to get any help because I was so embarrassed that my husband had not even called to check in on us, so I just sat there alone getting madder by the day. When he finally showed up at the hospital after going home and learning where I was, he came in for about 30 minutes with one of his workers and then decided he had to go eat because he had been in such a hurry to get home, he hadn't eaten yet. Never mind that I had not eaten or even showered in 3 days. Then he had to hurry home to take care of the other children, the oldest was 16 at the time and had been doing everything at home while I was at the hospital (she didn't get any help from him even after he was back). His excuse for not calling? My phone didn't get any service where I was (West Palm Beach, Fl.) Guess his hotel didn't have a phone either. This scenario minus a few details has repeated itself over and over. However, if I can't be reached immediately when he calls, he will call over and over and even question the kids about my whereabouts, usually the grocery store. Just needed to get this hurt off my chest.
