Frodo –
Just a note about your niece: My guess is that she’s either pre-adolescent, or full-blown teenage, yes? You don’t mention why you have your sister’s kids, but whatever the reason, this girl is angry. She’s angry at her mom, and she’s angry at life, and she’s taking it out on you. It won’t matter to an angry kid this age that she’s hurt your feelings -- don’t set yourself up for more pain by expecting her to be concerned. It sounds like she’s justified in her anger, but it’s being misdirected at you. Keep your chin up and try not to engage in any in any negative conversation with her.
Don’t negotiate – you all have to make the best of the situation, but you’re the adult, so you’re making the rules. It’s hard, but try to stand your ground. You can do it! Soon you’ll have more energy and mental clarity from eating the LC way, and that will help.
Good luck …
