Need help please....

H just came to pick up S3. He looked like he had been crying. He said he was very hurt by everything that is going on ie he believes I'm using S3 against him. Urrrrggghhh

Then he told me that he wants to file for 50 per cent custody of S3 cos MIL said that they needed to spend more time together. I can't believe this! He does everything she tells him! The puppet master at her best! She's not even taking into account what's best for S3! The fact that H is not a good father ATM. She doesn't see that. I know why she is doing this. It's because H lives a block away from her and now she can have more time with S3. Just another puppet to control! He'll no!

PS all three of MILs kids have behavioural/mental problems. H has had depression since he was a kid. But this went away when we got together. SIL is bipolar and BIL is ADD. And all 3 kids live within 500 metres of MIL. Talk about control control control!

I would love advise on how to handle this. MIL is pushing H to gain 50 per cent access to S3. How do I handle this?
