Hi...
I am sorry you are going through so much agony. It sounds like you also need a lot of support, and are not getting it.
You should seriously look to getting some outside help. Remember also, this is *not* your fault, you are just human like all of us, and a person can only take so much...be it a parent, or whatever role.I can give you some general info here, and if you want more specific, please feel free to babble-mail me. Grab your telephone book and look for something under youth support services, or community youth support services. Start calling from there, and they will likely lead you to where you
can find help. But, you must remember, at 18, you may be limited in what you can do with him. He is going to likely have to agree to a few things. If you feel that is way too much work for you, and it is a lot of work, then call a local mental health distress phone number. You definitely should not have to do this alone.Let us know how you make out..
Jay
