I'll make this as short as I can.
I'm trying to figure out if allowing my daughter stay nights at her Nana's is mentally safe for my daughter.
So I was married we had a little girl together but eventually divorced. Our daughter is almost 5 now. Since last Summer she's been living with me due to poor choices my ex wife is still making. With that it seems to be a lot of mental illness in that part of my daughters family and I do not say that lightly. I'm serious. From suicide attempts, to my ex and her mother calling each other out of their names so on and so on.
A little more history
I am in a state where I know know no one but my ex and her family. I've made a friends in the year I've been here and now have a girlfriend who is absolutely wonderful to me and my daughter. She's such a blessing.
I struggle however with sending my daughter to her Nana's now because not only of all the things she's put me through, ways she's spoken to me, the disrespect, the lies, even calling cops on me for no reason (there has always been a little racism from her as she is Hispanic I am black) she did voice to me finally that she does not like me. It initially kinda hurt my feelings lol I don't know I've done to anyone but you know it is what it is and it's okay.
However I've been told by others in that family that she's now into other religions which okay, but personally I really fear that she's into witchcraft ( a witch) and I also fear that she might try and coach my daughter into something that could ruin me as her father. That's the type of people they are. I've been arrested before and accused of abuse by them which was later dropped and dismissed but still I wouldn't put anything past her. The last time she asked for my daughter two months ago, when I asked what her plans were with her she asked me why does it matter.
So I now fear leaving my daughter with her.
