Man angry at ex in-laws creates his son's present for them with a special 'tool.'

It can&#39;t be easy to maintain a civil relationship with you&#39;re ex&#39;s parents.You can double that stress by factoring in the children involved.

TLDR at the end.  I had a son with a girl and our relationship fell apart within the first year of his birth. I was a very good dad and would do anything for my son. The problem came from my ex who wanted to control every aspect of our son&#39;s life but no longer wanted to be in a relationship.  I was fine about the relationship but not okay about her trying to control me and everything I do.  Things got heated when I realized she was lying to me and taking 12 hour shifts at work every single day but then sending our son to her mom and dad&#39;s.  I am all for my son seeing his grandparents but if you are going to be working and I&rsquo;m off I want my son to be with me. Soon I realized her parents were part of the lie too.
