I need help from all of you wonderful seasoned mothers! I am at a part of parenting I have no idea how to deal with. My 16 year old son has us at a lose. He refuses to go to school, ran away from home for 12 days. When he came back, he was so messed up from not taking his medications for 12 days that he was going to kill himself. We admitted him to a psch hospital to get the medications level and he was fine for 1 week. He has stolen his dad's truck (no driver's license), and when I called the police, they told me to "punish" him. He refuses to do anything around the house and when ever we say anything he doesn't like, he just leaves and hangs out with his pot-head friends. He doesn't drink or do other drugs, we have had him tested many times. Our rules have always been to go to school or get a job or you can't live here. He won't do either and I can't legally kick him out because he is 16. Plus, he won't take his medications when he is gone..... I need suggestions on what to do... thanks!
