[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 493839, member: 59"] First of all I am glad you found us. Most of our members found this board late at night after desperately searching for help. It sounds like your son is dealing with depression more than he is substance abuse. I may be wrong but it sounds like he is self medicating in both the form of pot and buying things that he thinks will occupy his mind. How long has he been seeing this therapist? Are you comfortable with the therapist? Will your son sign a waiver so that you and your wife can consult with him? What is he treating your son for? I think it's important that your son get a good pyschiatric evaluation so that you know what you are dealing with. Some of his actions will lead to serious legal trouble if he does not find a way to resolve that. My suggestion is not to kick your son out of the house at this point. Sadly you are living like prisoners in your own home but your son sounds too unstable to be on his own right now. I think you need guidance from the medical community. I know I don't know much background but he sounds troubled. Nancy [/QUOTE]
