I think I know where you all are coming from? To walk away from an abuser. I endorse that. I live that. But I'm not sure this rises to that level. The whole thing of what the t said is sooooooo shrinky, it's like straight from a book, so that kinda bugs me too, it's almost too perfect. But its good, its valid. But the OP admits they are/were working on her feeling dismissed BEFORE this issue came up, or while. I'm saying don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. It feels like you guys are saying, this is 90/10 - 90% against the t, while I think it's 30/70 - only 30% a t problem. If she starts getting really OCD with it, then yeah. But no, not because the OP asked. A t does need their phone next to them for emergencies, I think. Since cell phones arrived on the scene, my ts have had theirs. Am I missing something?
