She also mentions how she "forgot" she bought her a second phone.
Then this :
“This may sound crazy,” my daughter’s stepmom said. “But maybe she doesn’t need a phone.”
The words rippled across my mind. How had I never thought of it? The phone was destroying my daughter, but I couldn’t imagine life without it. I’d remained loyal to the idea of it, the ideal of it. I took custody of the phone again.
Dad traded up and got rid of a problem.
