[QUOTE="StephAnn, post: 549472, member: 15171"] Thank you all for the replies. A bit more info on my son. No this did not spring up overnight. It has been a problem since he was about 15. He started ignoring chores and its escalated to him flat out refusing to do schoolwork etc. He was home schooled and did well until this period of his life. He was home schooled because he had heart problems and could not take medications for ADHD and our school system gave us the choice to medicate him anyway or remove him. Because of his health we removed him. At any rate, he got his GED because we did like the mom above and drove him and waited for him to complete it. He is very smart and gifted but it boils down to being lazy and a lack of self esteem that I believe is due to his laziness. He has been out drinking with his friends, but it is fairly uncommon for that to happen. He is not into drugs and I know this is true because of a recent blood test. He tends to act suicidal and has threatened it before. It scared me so much that I had him committed for a week. This was when he was diagnosed with mild depression and anger issues. He isn't at my home, he voluntarily left the first of this year. He mainly stays with his bio-dad or friends. I can't stop caring if he is sleeping in his car, or if he has food, or if he is physically alright. I don't think I ever want to become a mother who does not care. I am being firm in not letting him come home and its been awhile since I've given him anything at all. I guess I was just looking for people who have been in the same or similar situations as I am.
