Madonna 's son didn't have to be sold by Guy Ritchie when the 15-year-old made the decision to stay in London ... we're told Rocco was fed up with the singer, her lifestyle and her parenting skills.
Sources who were on Madonna's tour tell us, Rocco was "miserable" being carted around the world by his mom.
We're told during the Stockholm leg of the tour, Rocco was a no-show when the charter plane was ready to take off ... he had made an escape run , but it appears he eventually came back.
Rocco now thinks his mom is jealous of his dad's "stable life" and his desire to live with his dad.
