[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 495469, member: 2315"] I would talk to his doctor first before putting him out. He might not be able to tell you anything about your son's medical records if a release has not been signed and on file but he can listen to your concerns and give advise. Ask him about maybe doing an intervention and getting your son into a treatment facility. If that does not work then in my humble opinion you have no choice other than putting him out of the house. You can call you local MHMR office and ask for a list of shelters and soup kitchens. Print that up and hand it to him on his way out the door. I am sorry for your pain andd your lost dreams for your son. I totally understand. but when they are stealing and upsetting your life to this degree you need to switch from protecting them form thier consequences to letting them experience them fully. Remember to take care of you and husband during all this. do not let the focus on your difficult child be so intense that that you stop having fun or time together or start arguing so much it hurts your relationship. Many of us have been there done that and can tell you that the strain that a difficult child on drugs puts on the parents is a real concern. You deserve to live in a safe environment where you do not have to lock up everything of value. If that means telling you son he has to leave then that is what must be. [/QUOTE]
