Ever since then, Kim reportedly “hates” him for restricting the WiFi– and has even claimed that doing so in this “day and age” is abusive.
His wife, too, is wavering in her support of the idea since Kim still is not showing any positive mental health changes or going to school.
His mental health is now struggling because of all of these issues, also. He feels as though every day is an emotional roller coaster in which he cycles through frustration, anger, futility, embarrassment, fear, and feeling like a failure.
“I know Kim is struggling, and seeing your child go through something that you cannot fix is a hell I wouldn’t wish on anybody,” he vented.
“All I am trying to do is gently force Kim to focus on her issues and take steps necessary to address them and make progress towards being a functional adult. She has three acceptance letters to colleges that she is very unlikely to attend now.”
So, in the wake of his efforts, he has been left wondering whether changing his house’s WiFi password every day is the best way to address his daughter’s screen time overconsumption or not.
Do you think too much screen time can damage Kim’s mental health even further? Or is it possible that her support system is really online? Should he try talking to Kim to understand her internet needs and what she is doing online better? How would you handle this situation?
