most selfish thing anyone can do to a loved one and his son and the rest of his loved ones will literally never get over it. Just because he is not a perfect parent doesn't mean he is the same as his dad. You might suggest he find some help online since that is the setting he seems most suited to. Also, dads' groups online might be a place that will help him put things in perspective. I would also encourage him to talk to the kid's doctor or pharmacist about addressing the nausea.
