[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688598, member: 18958"] Hi Wendy. Who knows what those pills are. Did they analyze them at the hospital? Good. Call 911. I will tell you what I think: Son needs to understand that regardless of what happens with sentencing, etc. he cannot live with you if he is going to take illegal substances and act all crazy. Period. In fact I would think about having him move out altogether. What about Job Corps or the military? I know he is facing maybe 5 years probation, but if he is a first offender, maybe there will be room to negotiate. Is there drug court where you live? Job Corps does take kids that have had problems. I am not sure if they will accept somebody on probation. Now might be the time to start researching options, to see if there might be some compromise sentence, if he chooses some constructive alternative. He might be open to it, your son, to avoid something worse. I cannot determine by your post (sorry if I missed it) the extent and kind of problems your son has had prior to this incident. Do you believe the suicidal impulses, the violent outbursts, etc. are because of the drugs, or did he have problems before? In any event these problems are really for your son to handle, not you. There are also resident programs such as Victory Outreach, etc. that help men rebuild their lives. He may need and benefit from an immersion such as this. Take care. I am glad you will call 911.
