Yes. I believe it is a horrible idea, I am sorry. You are only prolonging your own pain. He needs to find a babysitter, that person should not be you. And spending the night is even worse. How confusing for the poor child also.
As far as the nightmares, I have them when I am the most stressed about any given situation. Once the stress is better the nightmares stop.

I'm also going to the apartment this afternoon. I'm going to watch his daughter for a few hours while he works, and pack up some things. The plan is to spend the night because I work early tomorrow morning, and it's a 45 mile drive back to my dad's. Is this a horrible idea?
