[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595963, member: 1550"] Your son sounds very upset and so do you (understandably). Could your son be using recreational drugs? That is often why our teens suddenly spiral out of control when before they were either normal kids or just difficult without all the extreme moodswings and drama. Drug use/abuse is probably (unscientifically) the biggest reason teens completely lose their values. They steal to pawn things for drugs. They lie because they have no choice. They don't care about the laws because their world is lawless. I am so sorry that your son took that overdose and now gets seizures. He should be taking good care of himself. Any other sort of brain damage? Sadly, once they get to a certain age, there isn't much we as parents can do to make them do the things that will enhance their lives. Some of us have had to make our children leave the nest because their behaviors were intolerable, illegal or dangerous to the rest of us. Your son is not 18 yet, but when that comes up, that's one choice that you have. If your son will not respect your house rules, you may have to go there if it is a threat to your young daughter. Does he get violent and have you ever called the police on him? Is your husband his bio. dad? If not, can his dad help? Is your son in school and does he have any plans for after graduation? I know this wasn't very helpful, but I think you figured out yourself that you have done all you can and would do more if only your son would decide to help himself. After a certain age, all you can do is hope they have a change of heart, and take care of the other members of the family so that they don't suffer or become endangered due to the one child...j Hard I know. Been there. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
