[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 509917"] Hi and welcome. Kicking your son out is a last resort. Although it may seem that it's been cut & dried for those of us whose kids are no longer at home- it has been anything but simple. My son left home & my only choice was to finance his drug using lifestyle or to cut him off. The only wise choice was to cut him off. I hate it & my heart aches every day. I can only speak for myself- my son is 19 & I can't get him help, I can't receive any medical or scholastic information about him & I have no legal standing in his life. I wish I did because then I could use it to find help for him. I think you need to start with your son's current medical doctor and past/present tdocs and ask for treatment recommendations & referrals to mental health providers or behavioral boarding schools. I've also heard good things about wilderness programs. I think it's really important you exhaust all possibilities to get him help NOW, because once he turns 18 it's out of your hands. Is your son medicated? Is he taking his medications? I am so sorry you and your daughters are going thru this. There are a lot of great moms who have been or are in your shoes and you will get heartfelt good advice here. {{{hugs}}} [/QUOTE]
