[QUOTE="DDD, post: 437022, member: 35"] I'm sorry you are in such a quandry and hope you make the decision that is best for you. Regarding "turning off the phone" last year I finally decided to cut the phone off at 8 PM seven days a week. Truly it was one of the wisest choices I have made. I didn't realize that part of my brain was always waiting to hear the phone ring throughout the night....it kept me from reaching the deep sleep that I needed to rejuvenate for the next day. Everyone in the family knows that 8 PM is the deadline. What about difficult child? Well...if there actually is an emergency someone can come by the house and ring the doorbell. It took some getting used to but really I don't worry about it any more. There have been a few circumstances that warranted me telling him that I would keep the phone on for that one night only.
