[QUOTE="Karenvm, post: 587180, member: 15766"] Thank you all so much. This is so hard. This was the child that had the brightest future! So smart, well liked, etc. but clearly mental illness has cropped up, along with drug/alcohol abuse. The scariest part for me is that I know there is no one that difficult child will be able to live with. Family will not take him in, and most of his friends will be in college. I don't know where he will go. He doesn't eve have a drivers license, because our deal was that he needed to be drug/alcohol free for at least three months, and its been over a year now and that has not happened. So I will not let him behind the wheel of a car, not to mention on my car insurance policy. My heart breaks because I love him so much, and I recognize that he is not a "bad person". He really has a good heart, but right now is just a narcissistic 17 year old who knows everything. Where does an 18 year old go? I have money I can give him to get him started, that I would have given him for school. Not much, but maybe he can get an apartment. He will need a job too. Thank you for understanding, and not thinking that I am the worst mother in the world. Kennedyland- I am so sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds to me like you are the only one seeing things clearly. I hope your daughter comes around. :smile: [/QUOTE]
