[QUOTE="witzend, post: 270001, member: 99"] First, I remember when I felt that there must have been something that I had done to deserve the horridness that was my life. I was in the depths of despair. I suspect that you are depressed. Are you seeing anyone to help you feel better? Please talk to your doctor about your feelings, because it's difficult for you to deal with your son when you are feeling so sad. It can be better. One day you will understand that this type of thinking is a lie you tell yourself to give your life some semblance of rationality. I don't think that they will put him in jail if he doesn't go to school, especially at 17 in the final term. I wouldn't think they would do much more than flunk him and assume he's not coming back next year. Is there something more that he has done that brings you to think that he will be in jail soon? I was frightened of my son as well when he was that age. I was ashamed to tell anyone. Although he had been in therapy many years, we didn't act until after he had assaulted my husband, his dad. He was barely 16, and that was the last time that he lived in our home. I see that you list yourself as an abuse survivor. I know you know that you survived because you got away. If your son is abusing you - including verbally to the point that you want to crawl into bed and never come out - you [U]must[/U] seek assistance for him and for yourself. Call the school, call his doctor, call your doctor, call the police, call CPS. Call someone. You will still be the provider for your son, but until he comes back to earth on the violence and threats of violence, you are not providing a safe place for either of you in your home. [/QUOTE]
