Hi everyone,
I'm still having some major issues with my son. He called me the other night to come pick him up at his friends house (12:30am on a work night), he was supposed to spend the night with him. When I got there, he was drunk as a dog, had no pants on. He talked and talked and talked to me about what he had done, and why he had done it. He at least had 14 shots of vodka and some kind of melon tequila. Well, needless to say, he was sick as a dog, and threw up at least 6 times. I was worried about alcohol poisioning, so I stayed up with him for three more hours. He spilled his guts to me. We had a good talk, he cried and cried. I have to admit that sometimes he was quite amusing, as he would repeat the same stories over and over again to me. I didn't get on his case at all that night, because I was proud of him calling me to come get him, and he was so drunk, and so sick. I did disconnect his cell phone indefinitely, and disconnected the internet. He is grounded for two weeks, or until he moves in with his Dad. It's going to be hard for me to let him go, but I really believe that he needs a firmer hand that his Dad can give to him. I'm too much of a softie, I fear.
Thursday night, my son had spent the night with his sister so that he could spend some time with her before she moves in a few weeks to Texas. He decided at 2am , on a work night, that he wanted to come home, so she brought him home. when he got home, he wanted to talk to me, and woke me up, and isisted that I needed to get up right now. I thought it was something important. He just wanted to be a butt and complain about how bad his life is, and how he doesn't want to go live with his Dad. I said "you woke me up out of a sound sleep on a work night for this"? Then I was really mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: How selfish is that? It could have waited till the morning and I would have been glad to talk to him then.
I'm probably going to need to vent to you all, and would love any advice you could give to me.
Does anyone know of a on line support group or forum that could help with my troubled teen and his anxiety and depression issues. I'm afraid that there have been more drugs and alcohol as well.
I love my son with all of my heart and my soul, and all I want for him is to have a wonderful life where he can work to his potential, where all of his hopes and dreams for his life can come true.
Thanks for listening guys.
