((((((((((((((anjelmarie))))))))))) I'm glad you've had a week of peace, but I'm really sorry your BF's niece can't stay longer at her step mom's. And it's a shame that she will be tagging along with you and your BF when you guys go out tomorrow because that would have been a good opportunity for you both to have had some nice "couple's time" together. I do wish your BF "got it".
I'm thinking of you and hoping very much that you can experience some more peaceful times
