Mothers of teenagers to help me please?
Please, no jokes. I am a mother troubled teenager, and it breaks my heart. We tried everything but drugs and street life are more used to this boy 19 years. I afraid of him, I'm horrible grief and depression … but I must keep my own life together as well (full-time work, etc..) How do you cope with this anxiety and fear and pain and continue? (I pray a lot, but it does not help with the tears and shocked 24 hours per day)
Stop to be so hard on yourself. You can make them right, but they can always go wrong. Your son needs cleaning. I am confident that under the Drugs and life Street, it has a good heart. You just need to get the stuff from the road. I do not know the story of the boy, but you need to take drastic measures. And he will be angry, but it is better he is angry for some time as he continues this life. He could not die without your help, and this is when a mother must be strong. You have several options, and you must determine what is good for you and your son. If the main problem is drugs, then must enter a rehab immediately. If his problems are psychologically-based, it may be entering a counseling center. I suggest talking some family members, get their ideas. I suppose that your son will not go either to a rehabilitation center or counseling service willingly but there are specialists in this field. You are legal guardian (even if it is over 18 years, and you can clearly prove that he is incompetent with a simple test drug), and you can do. Talking to a psychologist or psychiatrist who specializes in interventions. Have an intervention with your son under his supervision. Give him the choice to go willy-nilly go. It will not change otherwise. Do not stand and watch your son to kill himself. Good luck.
