Great video Nyree.x

[@Flylittlebirds]

Thank you!

[@christinehoffman1825]

Love your story. Those clowns are so scary. We are a Christian family and don’t do Halloween either. Just some fun treats and pumpkins 😊😊😊

[@Flylittlebirds]

Yes, they really are. You take a similar approach as us xx

[@tracy9157]

I can empathise that you feel responsible for their every negative experience. .... But you have given them a fabulous home and extended family. So whatever negative stuff happens them now is so incredibly less than if they stayed with their birth family. Hopefully you give yourself credit for the gift you've given them too.
As for the phone use... Maybe you've already tried apps or he won't use them but ...., there are apps to try and make phones less attractive/ addictive. I use the ' minimalist phone ' app it makes your apps in to a black and white list, so less attractive. And gives you little reminders that you're on your phone too long.
I also use the stay free app which tells you how long you are on your phone and what apps you use most.
You could ask him to keep it under 3 hours or whatever, and hopefully it might work alongside his ocd to try and keep to that rule ( perhaps wishful thinking 😅).

Thank you, Tracy, for your positive comments and your suggestions for phone use. Anything us worth a try!
