After the first year of being divorced, I knew my two kids needed their own phones. It was becoming increasingly difficult to connect with my elementary-aged kids while they were with the other parent.
Whenever I asked my ex how the kids were doing and if I could talk to them, even for a few minutes, it started a huge argument. He gave me a time slot on certain days when I could call and talk to my children.
I would've waited longer had it not been because of the divorce. If we had stayed married, I might have waited a few more years to give my kids their first phones, but as a divorced parent, the phone was a must-get.
Now, I can talk with my kids daily without a middleman. I could send them my love in a simple text with a sunflower or tulip emoji for my daughter or a soccer ball for my son.
