[QUOTE="amiracle, post: 685153, member: 20249"] I can definitely relate to how you feel. My troubled one is the youngest of three boys. His two older brothers still live at home, they work have goals for the future, graduated high school and completed some college. My youngest has no interest in finishing school. I withdrew him from highschool his sophomore year because he was leaving campus and losing credits because he missed too many classes. I went to truancy hearings twice, where I was charged the fine. I'm an ER Nurse and I work 7 AM to 7:30 PM three days a week. On the days I worked he would leave school. I enrolled him into an alternative school because it was smaller, he would leave from there as well so they expelled him. My son contacted me again last night asking for food and saying I was a sorry excuse of a mother be cause I didn't care that he had no place to go. He doesn't think there's any thing wrong with smoking pot or dabs. I told him we would get him help when he's ready but it won't be here. We've lived like prisoners in our home for two years because of his stealing. My husband is firm on him not coming back, I wouldn't be able to keep up this tough love if it was just me. I haven't slept much this past week, my eyes just burn because of crying. I wish it was all a bad dream I told my son to find a local church and maybe they could help him find shelters or food banks close by, he refused, said he wasn't going to to do that. I don't know what else to do. I offered to take him to get a state ID card, I know he needs identification to get a job and I worry about him being out on the streets without ID. What if something bad happens to him, how will they know who is, or who to notify? He hasn't answered me about that yet. [/QUOTE]
