Phones sure are addicting. I think you will find a new found freedom and not being glued to it. I wish I had someone to take mine away! Lol. There are tons of studies that show they have a negative effect on mental health. And I’m sure in time, he will start to allow you to communicate with your friends and such. But when I go camping and don’t use my phone for a few days, I feel incredible. Best wishes! Bobby.

I totally get why that’s upsetting! I wonder if your dad was seeing some behavior that concerned him? Have you talked to him about it at all?

Sounds your Dad is concerned that you have a problem and tries to help you. I suggest therapy along with screentime abstinence to look into the issue. There’s a good life away from the virtual reality.
