Stop listening to Facebook and what other retarded arse parents tell you.
That child does not have to be in your presence every second of everyday.
Go visit a few times and let her enjoy some time with family whom, by the way, are parents as well.

Do the things you wouldn't normally be able to do with the child around. Get out and travel. Use it as a time to decompress.
Your kid is out enjoying a good family support system that you can provide beyond your immediate home. That's a good thing for everyone involved.

One other thing. Ex is about to start getting railed nightly by some guy she will meet. Be prepared don’t do anything crazy. Her mom could be in on it so beware but her friends will be for sure look out.

Think about how special it is for your child to have time to spend with their grandparents. Not all kids get that.
Greatest thing that ever happened to me
. Summers on the farm.

Those grandparents must have no confidence in you or your ex.

Your parents? Or in-laws? Regardless, just know it is likely great for your kid.
Unless its in-laws that might systematically poison your child's opinion of you....

1st, take the iPhone back from your 8 year old.
2nd, it's your child so unless there is some legal reason you can't go see her for 2 months or whatever this is, then just go see her if you want.
3rd, it's not great for people (including parents/kids) to be too codependent (including towards their kid/parent) so embrace the time for you to do some stuff for yourself and for your child to do some stuff for herself/her grandparents. A few weeks isn't very long in the grand scheme of things.
4th, if you are still single then hookers and blow without parental responsibilities

Do you not want to give your parents the opportunity to spoil their grandchild? Shame on you.

Last thing I wanted to do during the summer was spend any time indoors at home during daylight hours.

Not that long ago, many fathers used to be at sea, war, the mines, etc for months/years at a time. Boarding school used to be common too. Have some perspective, soyboy.

Wait. This visit was part of the custody deal? How long is she gone for? Are they good people and won’t talk bad about you? If so then enjoy your time without her, she is being taken care of and is with people who love her.

Must be fricking nice.

This is the longest I’ve been without her since her mom and I fought in a nasty custody battle

If my kids went to my parents’ house for the summer, they’d come back 200 pounds and blind from all the screen time.

Guarantee some good stories.
