[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 668096, member: 15801"] Hi SeaGenie, I feel for you. It is way too easy for me to imagine the scenario only with my son doing the manipulation and nastiness. So first of all I think you know this is not your fault... take this in and remind yourself of this, this is not your fault!!! It sounds like he is defnitely using drugs.... because all the crazy talk and nastiness gets way worse with drug use. If you are really scared for his safety call 911, tell them where he is and that you are worried about his safety. They can do a well being check on him...... and yes if he is doing illegal things they could arrest him but really if you are worried for his safety that is your best option. I have been where you are and I am here to tell you he has not yet ruined his life. Yes he is in the process of doing so.... but it is not a done deal. My son has a felony on his record, has been homeless, has spent time in jail and been in numerous rehabs.... and he like your son is only 23!!! And yet at this point he has been clean for 60 days and is again in rehab because he chose to be and seems to be really serious about it this time. His life is not over and he is looking for the first time at his future. But the process of my son getting to this place has been very hard for me just like it is very hard for you. So I sympathize and the only way to get through it is to build your own life, to find things that interest you and to find ways not to focus all of your energy on him. It is hard to do that I know , but it is also the only way i know to get through it. [/QUOTE]
