[QUOTE="bran155, post: 239135"] I just want to add that I have gone through the same cell phone dilemma. I struggled so long, deciding whether or not to keep paying for a cell phone that my daughter clearly did not deserve. I let her keep it for months all the while my sw kept telling me to cut it off. I argued the same argument, then how on earth will I get in touch with her to see if she is okay, or what if something happens, how will she contact me????? This went on for months until I finally had had enough. She stopped taking my calls, didn't come home, when she did, she was high and abusive. So her having the phone did nothing to ease my mind anyway. I finally took it away. I suspended the service and got a new phone for myself and changed the number. I will admit that there were times I wished she had the phone so that I could get in touch with her. I was a nervous wreck all of the time. But I was a nervous wreck when she had the phone. She managed to call me when she needed to anyway via other peoples phones or pay phones. Hang in there. :) [/QUOTE]
