Screens = my cocaine line đ how dad cut me off
So like⊠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 đŹ. He held me, I cried, told him screens feel like drugs. Dad said itâs his fault for giving me freedom I canât 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 wonât let that happen to me. He said I canât blame myself, coz kids canât handle that responsibility â itâs HIS job to stop me. Now I got used to it. I still miss my games, but I actually feel better. I canât lie anymore, and me and dad laugh and have fun again. I even blame him when friends ask me to game, and he says thatâs fine coz dads are supposed to be the âbad guy.â So yeah. Screens were my âcocaine lineâ đ but now Iâm free, still only 13, and dad is my hero again đâ€ïž.
