[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 760780, member: 4152"] I’m so sorry. My husband and I have had discussions regarding the phone. Eventually, we decided to pay for the phone in case there was a true emergency. However, we have had to set boundaries with the phone that she still tests to this day. It’s exhausting. But…there have been improvements. He absolutely was trying to hurt you with that video combined with those comments. our daughter is afraid of losing her phone. Is your son? If so, he might hesitate to do that again if he understands there likely willbe a consequence. when she is inappropriate we have done various things to remove ourselves from the insanity. I might give her one warning and if she does it again, I’ll block her for a day. She is profoundly slow to learn and/or take any accountability for her actions. only once did we literally have her phone turned off fir a day. That scared her badly. Us too, actually. She improved after that. today, we give her the warning. If she breaks that…we block her or don’t answer her calls fir 24 hours. That seems to do the trick. my hubby and I did have to meet with a counselor a few times to discuss how to cope with our daughter’s mental illness. It’s not easy finding someone who “gets it,” but we did and it was of great help. we try hard not to argue about her. It’s already zapped so much energy etc from our lives. It sure isn’t easy. But, maintaining a healthy relationship with your spouse in the great majority of cases (I think/in my humble opinion) needs to be the priority. [/QUOTE]
