Need an outside opinion...
Since my last post, DB has gotten a little bit better. (I didn't end up moving because I'm stupid, and I'm hoping for DB to get better and be in J's life...) He has been going to AA meetings and is seeing a doctor on Wednesday for his mood swings. He has been spending time with J, but never alone and never for longer than an hour (his choice, not mine.) --This weekend I am having some friends in from out of town, and my grandmother graciously offered to babysit J for me for the night so I can have some "adult" time. J loves her, and she is the only person that J has spent any alone time with other than myself. She only lives 30 minutes away, and I would LOVE to let her and have some time for myself. I haven't been away from J for longer than 3 hours since she was born! --Now my problem is...I'm pretty certain that DB is going to freak out when he finds out that she is staying at my grandmother's--not because of her but because I didn't ask him to babysit. Although he is doing better he is still not anywhere near close to me feeling comfortable leaving her with him...And I really don't want to rock the boat...but I desperately need a night for myself. How would you explain this to him as to not hurt his feelings?

This was my original thought...guess I was just thinking about it too much. Thanks all!
Don't mention it to him. You know in your heart that it isn't safe for J to stay with him alone so don't even open up that can of worms. Minimal information is best. He's on a need to know basis and he DOESN'T need to know this.
Have a fun night out!
Thank you
