He's 18 and finally admitted he's addicted to weed. He's stolen from our house so many times. He's been fired from every job he's had because of combo of ADHD and drugs. He stole from the last one. He had been clean for 3 weeks and was scheduled to start outpatient rehab on Monday. I knew he was acting "off" last night but hoped I was wrong. He stole $100 from his older brother's wallet today. Brother specifically spent the night to be with him today before he went to work but my kid was off with the money.
It's the last straw. I have been very depressed and ill lately worrying myself sick over this to the point that I have thought of hospitalizing myself. I want to give him 3 days worth of meds and some clothes and tell him don't come back until Monday. That's when rehab center is open again and he could get admitted. I am willing to give him rides to homeless shelter's if he can't find a place to stay but I can't take this anymore and no one else should have to either.
I could use any other suggestions that anyone might have.
