Does he have a fever? I have to wonder if he's really sick or throwing up because of too much of something bad? Maybe that's what husband is wondering too.

Unfortunately it can take up to a month to clear it out if his system.

Copa, I totally agree with SWOT. I think you ought to let him come back with no expectations and don't give advice unless he actually asks. Then don't be disappointed if he doesn't take it. It truly would be better than the hell you're in right now. It would not be weak or giving in, it would...

Awe Copa, the thing is it's not in your control, you know that in your heart. I'm so sorry he keeps on letting himself down. Most of our kids don't know how to help themselves and that is just sad to us. But we have our lives to live and we HAVE to do that as much as we can. HUGS!

Many of those same behaviors are seen in people who with adhd/depression/anxiety. D has several of those not associated with any type of sexual abuse.

DS tried a few different medications but wouldn't take them regularly too, so I stopped the trials because it's dangerous not to take them steadily.

Oz, my story is almost an exact replica of yours, although my DS is 20, did well in school and was compassionate and considerate until he started smoking pot in later high school. But they turned out the same. I wish I could be of help, but we just had DS leave because we found too much of a...

Copa, so interesting you said that about the gabapentin. I know many people who are taking it for nerve or shingles pain, including myself, who have very little or no side effects. Of course we don't know his dose (or really why he's on it unless they think he's having seizures), but I'm on...

Copa, I was one of the posters who thought if you could just get over the marijuana issue it could work out That's what I did and we were better for several months .UNTIL last night when I found an enormous amount in his room enough to sell and have our home taken away. So I calmly called him...

I'm not going to give details but I found some things in DS room and made him leave for an unforeseen amount of time. I stayed completely calm but now that he's packed and gone I'm just devestated. No second guessing, we did the right thing but boy it hurts.

Copa, you have to let go some or you will implode, physically and emotionally. Would you consider blocking him from your cell for a little while, just to get centered?

Copa, just know he isn't doing this purposely to you, it's just you're in the crossfire of his emotional upheaval. I don't think our kids mean to hurt us, we're just the ones who love them and care for them the most so we get hurt the most. Please try to breathe and try to not let this setback...

Hope prayers and hugs for tomorrow. Whatever happens remember... Don't take it personally because it isn't.

I so wish I could be with you to be support, even just a cup of coffee and a hug. Sounds like you got yourself quickly to the place of not here no matter what pretty quickly because of his actions. That's actually better for you. You know what CAN'T happen. Now you can work from that place. Damm...

In my area hoodies don't necessary project a gang image, but I still don't like them. And I have found just because you buy them clothes doesn't mean they'll actually wear them. Copa, I've read a lot of threads from so many different places differing personalities and many different things...

From all your posts I really think you'd feel better emotionally if he were with you you. That would mean dropping all expectations, can you do that? I've dropped a lot of mine and I am truly more content.

Copa, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, it never ends.

I watched the hoarding show the first few seasons, I am the opposite so it is hard to imagine letting stuff overcome a home. Older DS had a friend growing up who's mom was semi hoarding, and it literally made me anxious going inside their home. I am calmer inside my home when it is mostly free...

He has to want it enough to make everything you're putting into him worthwhile, and it just doesn't sound like he's in the same place. I think it's time to let go for a while.

Elsi, I can't imagine what you're going through and how much your heart must hurt but know all of us are here to help support you. Prayers that you at least find out something soon, but try to live your life while you're waiting. Hugs ..
