[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 498681, member: 1157"] Welcome to the board, mog. I'm so sorry things are so bad right now. You've got a lot on your plate, and I know it's difficult to process your own grief over the loss of your mom, when there is so much chaos going on around you with your son. How long was he in the hospital after the suicide attempt? Was an aftercare plan set up for him, with counseling etc.? Perhaps if you suggest to him that seeking help for his depression and anger issues may help him in any upcoming court proceedings over the arrest, he'll agree to go. I do have to agree with the others that if he continues to be violent and aggressive in your home, he's got to go. Depression or not, that behavior cannot be tolerated, in my opinion. You can't be held hostage to his temper tantrums, and soon enough even his depression can turn into a manipulative tactic to keep you from kicking him out. I suspect the black-out comment is manipulative, as well. He needs to take responsibility for his actions. If he's depressed, he needs to get help. I also urge you to get some help for yourself in dealing with all of this, it's a lot to process. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
