Our difficult child-16 was just released from juvenile after 4 weeks detention, plead guilty to 1 felony, 2 misd. for breaking into the police armory stealing handguns. Caught on site, thank God they didn't shoot him.
He was diagnosis with ODD and Anger issues at 14, caught setting off molotov cocktail in neighborhood park at 2am. Seemed to have things together pretty well after extensive insight therapy etc.
He got into a relationship with other 16 yo and within 4 months she managed to have him totoally off balance and suicidal. Discover AOL Im chat logs with obvious emotional blackmail, multiple lies and manipulations, graphic cyber sex and delusions of a guardian angel who could also control/manipulate my son. When I intervened he went beserk, threatened me with-chair, trashed his room, left the house and proceeded to embark on a breaking and entering spree ending at police armory. All within 2.5 hrs of leaving house. psychiatric evaluation now says cocaine addiction and CD. I think he trumped up the cocaine use to deflect attention from the girl, cash flow was not sufficient for prolonged and consistent use.
He was fortunate not to be charged as an adult, not to be sent to a 6 mo. treatment center, now in Intensive Outpatient, on strict probation.
All he cares about is the girl?????? Worse yet, girl's mother wants them to continue relationship with help of mental health professionals. What?
I am full of fear, resentment and anger. Non of which is good for me. Where do I start to come out of this nightmare?
