[QUOTE="stormyweather, post: 697394, member: 20658"] First time posting here but so worried and anxious had to put this down somewhere. I'll have to start at the beginning and I'll try to make this short. My son since he was 14 has gotten in trouble and has smoked pot and spice. He had gotten expelled from school twice, spent time in juvie and jail, and can't keep a job. When he was 18 we found out he was selling pot and spice from our home. We have 4 other younger kids and told him that if he continued selling he would have to leave. So of course he kept it up and we sent him to live with my brother. Things went bad there and he went and got an apartment and somewhat kept a job. It looked like he was moving up, getting clean and keeping a steady job. He moved into a better apartment and had a decent job with lots of overtime. Then he lost that job and it's been downhill from there. He moved to a small town with a couple of other guys where there are no jobs. He has no license and car and can't even keep an id for long without losing it. Last week I finally talk him into moving back home, he is now 20. I tell him that he has to still follow rules and he is not to get into my beer or cigarettes. The day after he moves back in I have to leave for the day for work, I have my 15 yr old watching the younger boys. I'm not leaving the 20 yr old responsible for anyone at this point. While I'm gone he gets angry over little things, steals his sister's 8 dollars in quarters (I know it's not a lot but she earned it), and then to top it off he put a knife to her throat and asked her if she was scared yet. He left that day, I have not heard from him. He has not logged onto facebook at all and I have no clue what is happening with him... I can't help but worry. He has threatened suicide numerous times to me the past couple years but I'm scared he actually went through with it. I'm at my breaking point but still worried as a mom would be. Yes we have taken him to counseling and he wants nothing to do with the hospital, pills, or AA/NA. I just don't know what to do anymore except sit here and think about him. He isn't welcome back because his siblings cannot feel uncomfortable in their own home but to just know where he is at and alive would help [/QUOTE]
