[QUOTE="KN820, post: 725077, member: 22595"] My son just turned 18 and we have seen a rapid shift in his behaviors in the last 2 months. He dropped out at 18, 6 months prior to graduating and refuses to return. He doesn't have anything to do all day and plays computer games and meets his friends after school. He recently started abusing Xanax, smoking weed and taking other unknown pills. He has shared he is extremely anxious and is taking Xanax to help him in social settings with his friends, but has also discussed being suicidal last year which we knew nothing about (he seemed relatively happy). We are trying to set limits but are finding ourselves one step behind him and he has started getting aggressive when we give him a curfew or set limits. He refuses to get treatment or therapy. My Husband wants to kick him out, but I am concerned about his mental health and substance abuse because he is very immature and naïve and really has no where to go. Tonight he broke our door in half with a hammer to get to his video games which we locked up while we were at work. My husband wants to call the police. Will the police help? Will they just arrest him or will they help him get services? Any Help appreciated! [/QUOTE]
