[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 749338, member: 18958"] I don't like those sports drinks but I have no experience with the kind of reactions you describe as being caused by them. My son takes supplements including high doses of caffeine. This concerns me, too. You are in the situation that many of us find ourselves when we come here. We are afraid. But we prioritize the safety and well-being of our children, rather than our own welfare. You are being abused:And he is at risk too:What if you give him a choice? Tell him either he gets psychological treatment or he needs to move out? Do you want to sell your house and move? If you would move only to deal with this situation rather than face it directly, I think is not realistic. There is no guarantee this will resolve the situation. It could get worse. Just because your son is not in your house, does not mean this will be resolved. If he is abusing drugs or steroids, this will likely continue. You would have lost any leverage you have by leaving. This kind of personality change is concerning. Something has to have caused it. The other possibility is mental illness. Some of which kick in in late teens and twenties. I think you need to call the police the next time he threatens suicide. I think you need to call the police too if he talks to you in a way you experience as abusive. Nobody should be afraid of their child in their own home. Have you considered Al Anon? There you would be helped to learn how to identify and enforce healthy boundaries. Welcome. I am glad you found us. I wish I could be of more help. Take care. [/QUOTE]
