[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 676489, member: 1963"] OK. He just crossed a line a line (violence) that cannot be crossed. You now have no real option but to get him out of your house. It's a short hop from shoving to shoving harder, to actually hitting. Also, what you describe is suicidal ideation. You can't fix him, and I strongly suspect that drugs are involved. Compassionate moms do not allow their children to waste away in their rooms playing video games. They push their children out of the nest so they can learn to fly. The time has come to for your son to learn to fly. THis doesn't mean you cannot help him when he is going in the right direction, but I would NOT give him cash or buy him a car under any circustances. Do not let him drive any vehicles that are titled or insured under your name. You're help, if and ONLY if, you are able, should be along the lines of a bag of groceries here and there, and especially paying for psychiatric help. Pay directly to providers. Same goes for RXs. Pay directly to pharmacy, and a bit of advice from someone who's been there. His depression can be treated adequately without the use of controlled substances. Do not pay for psychiatric drugs that can be abused. [/QUOTE]
