Re the phone... why would your mother keep those texts?

New rule

Give your mom the phone

Your mother CLEARS the history of any calls or texts from him... BEFORE you see the phone!!!

The IDEA of NO CONTACT is supposed to be BOTH WAYS... NOT JUST HIM

YOU are not supposed to read his texts silly.. THAT IS CONTACT

If there is an important message, your mother DELETES the text and she tells you HERSELF what you need to know.. SHE DECIDES FOR YOU if its relevant

Now, the TAXES...

HIRE AN ACCOUNTANT to call him and do the paperwork silly
