To save our foster daughter, we took her phone away
For weeks, I’d had a sneaking suspicion something was up with our foster daughter, Katie*. She seemed distracted and was spending more time in her room, which isn’t unusual for a 13-year-old but I was beginning to worry she was retreating from us. She was hanging out in the kitchen less, seemed quieter at dinner, and went to her bedroom every night after we’d eaten rather than staying to watch TV.
