Well, first of all never apologize for a post. That is what this whole site is about, getting it out even if it doesn't make sense. Now, I do not think that your father can hospitalize you for a text unless you state you are going to kill or hurt yourself. Second, can you keep a log of how many characters you text in a message? Let's say you text 200 characters now. Try to type only 100 next time. Slowly ween yourself until you are texting less. Write on a sheet of paper all the things you want to text him. Then, prioritize the list and only text the first two important things. Think before you text is what I am basically saying. Quitting cold turkey may make it worse, and harder to stop or cut down in the end. It is ok to tu just want to stop the obssessive texting. Alos, you should be able to text him if you are dating. No sexting though, that is not good. I will pray that you will figure this out and not be so upset anymore.
if you read this: I have been made aware that I don't make sense in my post. Please forgive me for posting such a confusing and unimportant situation.
