Let me know if this isn't the way to detach, I have a question.

My son had to come home from school early due to getting ill in the cafeteria. I picked him up, got him settled and he seems fine. So I texted his dad to tell him that our son was sent home ill and I'll let him know if it affects his going to his dad's tomorrow night for their visit.

It took him a while to reply with just "oh nooooo." I didn't reply back. An hour later he texts me with, "If you need anything, let me know." I didn't reply because son is doing okay and also I feel that since H left our home, I'm not going to keep him posted on every thing in the house while he's off in his own world now. If kiddo was really ill, it's one thing, and I also have a friend close by who can help grab me some things I need if I needed them.

I feel like this was the right choice regarding communication, but if I did something wrong, can someone give me a tip or two. I want to detach properly and let go and realize I have not been for months now.
