Hello, I posted a thread yesterday however, ive not yet gotten any responces. So I thought If maybe I told a small piece of my story maybe someone with a similar instance would respond...as I'm at the end of my rope.
I am a mother to a 16 year old boy. 3 weeks ago I had him admitted into a partial hospitalisation program for troubled teens.
I had had enough when I found him "HUFFING" gasoline (yes gas).
He (while in this program) has admited to dappering in Marjuana laced with PSP...although he claims he did not know it was laced with the PSP....he say's that he had a horrible reaction, his friends left him in an abandon parking lot all alone in the dark, and he heard dogs barking, "lots of dogs growling and barking, chasing after him", he says. He then managed to come to his senses enough to find his way to a local grocery store that was open 24 hrs. He then proceded to find his way to the public restroom where he hid in fear (he was paranoid from the drug).
He slept in the bathroom stall for 4 hours untill morning. When he woke up, he managed to find his way back to the kid's house he was suppose to be spending the night with. Mind you, I am the kind of mom that always call's and checks with the parents before sending my child to sleep over, always have, and this happned. (thats another story in itself).
He admits to smoking cigs.
He has admited to drinking on occasion.
He has admitted to huffing on several occasions.
(claims he no longer does) but i have my suspisions...
He has snuck out of my home, and once got cought by the police. (for curfew violation as a minor).
I reciently busted him shop lifting WHILE with me.
He has admited to me some personal sexual issues.
He has been a troubled child, always , always in trouble.
He is in 11th grade but not passing...still in 9th grade class's.
He has MAJOR anger issues, has put many holes in our wall's, and such.
Many detentions.
My family is falling apart, there is always so much tention when he is in the mix.
He is loud and obnoxious.
He is very immature.
While at this partial hospital for troubled teens, they put him on Welbutrin and Abbilify, and diagnosis'd him with the ODD. (he already had a diagnosis of adhd).
I am seriously at my witts end, he will be 17 in a few weeks and then 1 year later 18 an ADULT. I am so scared for him, and at times i feel lousy, as I love him with all my heart, as he is my son....but i don't like him.
Does that makes sence? I dunno...any suggestions or communacation with another parent going threw like issues would be appriciated greatly.
Thank you,
AMB
