Screens = my cocaine line š how dad cut me off
So likeā¦ I been a total screen-junkie since I was 10. When I turned 13 dad gave me more freedom: weekends = free screentime. I gamed all day on PC/phone/Xbox. Dad said I got disrespectful, I ignored him, he pulled the plug, I freaked out and even hit him š¬. He held me, I cried, told him screens feel like drugs. Dad said itās his fault for giving me freedom I canāt handle. He took everything away, and now I only get 1h per day, Sundays = zero. He installed apps so he can see everything I do and even block stuff. I was angry for weeks but then broke down crying, coz I missed it too much. Dad hugged me, took me on the boat, no screens, just us. He told me his childhood friend died from addiction and he wonāt let that happen to me. He said I canāt blame myself, coz kids canāt handle that responsibility ā itās HIS job to stop me. Now I got used to it. I still miss my games, but I actually feel better. I canāt lie anymore, and me and dad laugh and have fun again. I even blame him when friends ask me to game, and he says thatās fine coz dads are supposed to be the ābad guy.ā So yeah. Screens were my ācocaine lineā š but now Iām free, still only 13, and dad is my hero again šā¤ļø.
