My 18 y.o. son has been struggling with drugs since he was 13. In and out of rehab 4 times. this last time he was in for 8 months. Relapsed with in a month. His dad purchased him a car. Within a week he had 2 speeding tickets. Within a month he was caught with paraphernalia and pot in his car. After that he totaled his car 3 days after that and received another ticket prior to that day.
Court was scheduled 3 weeks ago. Had a public defender and was asked if he would test positive for THC now and he said yes. She gave him another month to get clean. Well needless to say he hasn't. I don't know what to do with him. I don't want him to go to jail and he will this time.
I'm over it and he is literally killing me. He is driving me crazy, It is interfering with my jobs (yes I work 2 jobs so that I don't have to be home to deal with all his crap). I am constantly sick and sleeping when I'm at home. I take all anti anxiety medications there is to take. I'm at a loss.
He has also racked up over $1000.00 in fees and does not have the money to pay them and I have told him over and over I will not pay them. He has a low paying job, but he spends all it on pot.
It doesn't help that he has mental problems, and is all kinds of medications from ADD to Bipolar.
All in all I can just say I don't want him to go to jail, though I know it is probably the best thing for him.
He is a good kid just stupid. Sorry to say that, I just feel like It is all my fault and I am not doing my job as a mother.
And I'm sorry if this thread has been talked about before, just don't have time to go thru them all.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thank you
