[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 612651"] It is is obvious by your verbiage that you are hurting terribly. If you are not doing so already, I believe you need to get to your doctor right away to see about a possible antidepressant. Also, if not doing so already, think about seeing a psychologist or mental health counselor for talk therapy ASAP! You are going through a lot and need the extra support and guidance. This is nothing to be ashamed of, many, if not most of us here, have had to at one time or another gotten such support. Another great place for support are Parents Anonymous meetings! Those parents have been through this very thing! generally speaking, I think not letting him come home is VERY likely the right thing to do!!!! I would consider VERY VERY VERY limited temporary financial help like for him to see the doctor or for food. You might help him apply for food stamps. Keep any help minimum though and don't do it all if he is unkind/rude or abusive to you. Let it be known that any help is temporary and set boundaries; for example like medical expenses only (and never give him money outright). please re-read the other excellent posts and get some help for yourself! Practice good self care. You have other children and family who love you and need you. It sounds impossible right this moment, but with help, you can get through these very difficult times. Honest. PS I got a call once (long time ago) from a good friend who saw my daughter begging. It tore me up for a few hours. My friend was also shook up. That was a long time ago. Her father told her if we see her begging or get a call like that again, we will call the police and report her as a pan-handler ourselves and ask the police to remove her from the streets. She was shocked. Not sure if she has done it again, but I do believe it at least slowed her down/turned her off to the idea. Anyway, I CAN relate to much of this hxll. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
