[QUOTE="twoofthree, post: 731021, member: 22962"] Thank you so much for your reply. I am in close contact with his probation officer. He has gotten my son to start attending a program once a week. He's only been there once so far. His probation officer has talked to him about the consequences of running. He doesn't seem to care. I will definitely look up those suggested reads. I am totally heartbroken, and I am struggling with caving. I know I need to be firm and not cave, but to my detriment (and that of my son) I am not a tough parent. If I'm completely honest, I fear he will try to kill himself. My mother committed suicide when I was 19, so I am very sensitive about that possibility. I am glad I found this group. I was feeling so alone in this, and my area does not offer any type of support groups for parents who struggle with troubled teens. [/QUOTE]
