Hi
I have 4 children, 21,19,7 &5. DS1 who is the 19 year old has been 'difficult' since he was 11. Over the teenage years we have had drink, drugs and plenty of police involvement. He took his GCSEs in a PRU and then got ABBC in his A levels at a local local college (with minimal effort from him).
He then went to Uni abroad,, his decision mainly due to the reduced costs. After about 3 months it became obvious he wasnt coping and, having been suicidal and admitted into a psych unit, he came home about 6 weeks ago. Since then he has been on anti-ds and we are awaiting therapy.
He remains v suicidal, although I perceive an improvement. He says that he sees no point in anything anymore. He has gone out tonight and I am worried for his safety.
Has anyone been through similar?
