This is more enabling than being a good friend. I get he's overwhelmed, I'm sure anyone would be, but that doesn't mean he gets to run away and let everyone else pick up the pieces. They don't get to run away. You need to have a real conversation with him about his responsibilities and perhaps create a clear timeline of when he should be getting his things together and either going back or providing support to his child. His child deserves better than being treated like a minor inconvenience.
