[QUOTE="compassion, post: 242481, member: 6393"] My difficult child is WAY too immature to havea cellphone. When she is semi stable it can be OK but genrally can't handle it/respect limits around it. That was the deal throught his last manic/using subataqnces again. I got her a cool phone for Christmas: she had been pretty stable: not runing/uiosng. The deal was she had to show me daily ehat numbers were on there. She eas and then she started agian and refused and beat me up. I just was looking yheatsday; all the druggies were back in the phone :( I was also moniroting my space daily and she changed the password. When she comes back, I will not allow a phone. She does not have impusle control/boundaries to handle it. My 18 year old son, he uses it to talk to friends an dme only. For difficult child, it ws a way she could make contadcts for peple to pick her up, to run, to use drugs, etc. I would take cel phone awasy, she would steal mine and run up charges. I di not want her texting, but then got unlimite dtexdting. This worked OK until she got rally unstable again and she refused to let me monitor her phone. Now, at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), they are not allowed to have cellphones. Yes, you can get phones withour camera: I have doen that before. She really wantd the cool phone to text and I thought, it is hard for her to communicate verbally but I lost all control of beign able to monitor it. I liked what you said about her earning it. She has racked up thousands in charges, epseiclaly when she has run away Lst week, I did suspend service and she went into a rage and teffifed, truend it back on. I want to see her is contacting her now. Sadly, she has few contacts that are healthy. When she gets mainic, there will be alot sof peopel I donot recognize. Compassion [/QUOTE]
