[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 15573, member: 1967"] Judi, I think you did the right thing. When my difficult child was at her worst, I had to cut off contact for a little while just to keep my sanity. She is doing much better now that she knows that we are her not her safety net and that she is responsible for herself. As far as the cell phone, I had difficult child's phone line deactivated without terminating it. You still have to pay the monthly charges but they can't use it. I would rather do that then let my difficult child abuse the privilege of using a phone that I am paying for. Sue ~ You might want to think about deactivating Melissa's cell phone. It might get her attention! That was the first thing that my difficult child starting paying for on her own after being without one for a few months. I don't know if you have Metro PCS in your area but it's great because difficult children don't need credit to get a phone since it is a flat fee plan paid in advance each month. It also has no yearly contract and has unlimited local and national calling (from the home area only ~ it doesn't work once you leave the home area) so it's virtually GFGproof. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
