[quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine divorced and her husband had 50%. She gave the child a cell phone so she could call anytime. She would call often to check and see if he was okay, did he miss her, and ask questions about what his father was / wasn't doing with him. It actually caused significant anxiety for the child and it did interfere as he felt disloyal and guilty if he had fun with his dad or wasn't saying how much he missed mom and wanted to come home to her. Mom needed to feel loved and missed while he was with the other parent and it was her neediness feeding the communication. Of course the child thought he needed it too. It also created problems as my friend would then call her ex to discuss things the child had told her and try and control his time.

Her anxiety and need ended up creating a bad situation. In the end dad took the cell phone away and controlled access to mom during his time. My friend freaked out and was extremely angry and if she had had the money, she would have taken him to court. In the end it was better for the kid to be able to relax and just enjoy time with dad without feeling the need to report back and recount it all to mom.[/quote]
