[QUOTE="SoFla Mom, post: 664596, member: 19449"] My son, an honors student in high school, was kicked out of college after his first year. Only one or two grades were salvageable. He simply didn't attend class, but rather, used his weekly stipend to buy Vapes and weed. Since he's been home, he's worked pretty much full time at a pizza joint. Was promoted quickly and seems to be doing well. A week before classes are to start, today, he finally enrolled in the local community college and learned he only needed two classes to get his AA. So proud! I arrived home after work and was looking for something and ran across two bongs. I calmly hid them and awaited my son's return from work. We had a great night laughing and playing with the dog. I went to bed and an hour later hear what seems to be doors slamming or something loud. I woke up, walked down the hall and my son had slashed my walls with a knife, threw my computer on the floor, punched several holes in 3 walls, slashed a pillow and left me a note that said: Don't f-ing touch my things. I started hyperventilating, and could do nothing else but scream at him to get out of my house. He very cooly, with steely eyes "admonished" me for taking "his property". I admittedly said some cruel things like "you will never amount to anything" I actually slapped his face - twice - and, while shaking, asked him who he had become and how could he destroy his life like this? This happened two hours ago. He's gone. I don't know if or when I'll see him. I'm a complete wreck. He's definitely spiraling out of control and his actions have become so extreme to the point I'm scared of what he may do. Please help. I need experienced advice desperately. [/QUOTE]
