Hi-
I am new here as of this morning.
I have an almost 18 year son who has repeatedly broken rules, steals, lies, is abusive physically to his younger (diabetic) brother and verbally abusive to all of us.
The list of his treatments/facility stays is endless. He is now self medicating with alcohol and weed. Two weeks ago we were in ER for alcohol poisoning and suicide attempt.
He is not allowed to sleep in the house any more. He has a heated porch with a couch, lights, and his phone. I don't trust him in the house while we sleep for MANY reasons.
I have called shelters because he can not live here anymore and it breaks my heart. I cry daily. I feel like I have failed him somehow when all I have done is fight for him, his treatment, his LIFE.
My 12 y.o gets so upset his sugars get crazy and my husband has stopped talking when oldest is around. My home is a war zone.
Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas, ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated.
