[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 114075, member: 1233"] I am so sorry you are scared. I don't have a son this age (mine is 16) but understand being scared of your child. Do you have family that can help you with him? You may want to look into Assisted Living programs, and the school should be working on a transitional program with you. If he is a danger to you, himself or others don't wait, CALL 911!!!! Let them know he is mentally ill, but please call! Your daughter needs to feel safe also. She should have a strong lock on her door, and a phone in there to call 911 if you can't. You can refuse to provide housing and any other support if you want. He is 18. I am not saying it is the best route, not judging it at all, just saying it is an option. At 18 not sure you can force a program, but you do have control over the house because YOU pay the bills. You can set some rules and make him leave if he does not follow them. Others will be along soon with more ideas. Please keep yourself safe. Susie [/QUOTE]
