I am on the outside looking in on this issue, and what I picked up on in this particular paragraph had nothing to do with the child or the chance to have both his father and grandmother spend time with him in one shot.
I know when I went through my first divorce, my self-centeredness certainly didn't allow me to do what was best for my daughter, but rather I reacted out of my hurt and anger towards her father. Of course, hindsight is 20/20.
