Turns out he was leaving him with his parents so he could spend the night with OW. (this is my assumption with a lot of details provided by MIL)
Yeah, same thing happened with W and D8 and it used to p1ss me off but now I've decided that she was free to choose the relationship she wanted to have with D8. D8 has pulled closer to me over this ordeal and W has problems handling her. She's been more of a "buddy" to D8 than a mother and just last night she was opening up to me asking me if I was experiencing the same problems she was with D8.
D8 is great when she's with me and although she loves to go spend time with her mom, she tends to take advantage of W's insecurities and gets her way all the time. W no longer knows how to handle her and even said that sometimes, she feels like coming for a visit but she doesn't because she's afraid D8 is going to take advantage. It makes me sad but somehow, I hope it'll give W things to think about. We used to have a great family, with pretty much equal share of the responsibility.
Mind you, I'm in a better position in this country, as I can afford a full time maid to help with D8. I don't know how i could manage on my own without that. Hats off to the (single) mothers (and fathers) of this world. Not an easy job.
