My son is only three weeks old and my WH has visitation in my home only for 8 hours a week. I found out yesterday that he took him to meet the OW. I went crazy about it. I am so tired of being hurt. He doesn't see the big deal. Any advice on coping and accepting this. I have never been so angry in my life.

Call your lawyer.
If he can't do anything, then don't let WH take your baby out of your home.
I'm so sorry Durham, I could commit serious bodily harm to you WH right now.
I am so incredibly sorry.
This was my worst fear when I had my DD. Her Dad never put me or DD through that though. I would have gone ballistic, and I think he knew it. But he also agreed it wasn't good for anyone to take her around OW.
Find out what you options are.

Durham,
I will make this suggestion but you need to weigh the options. If it were me, I'd call the police to report that a WS has taken my 3 wk child to visit 'other women'. Make it plural and tell them you are not sure how many or how long.....since he has been acting strangely, ask what options do you have. They may request you file a restraining order and require me have supervised visits.
