My eldest son has been really hard work recently. A lot of it is my fault as I left his abusive dad 5 ish years ago and then met someone new and moved in with him 2 years ago. I also have a heart condition so for a long time in his childhood I was very ill.
So the issues we have had in the last year with him have been contact with police due to him following someone home (he didnt but it caused a lot of angst). Periods of not eating anything. Taking a lot of pain killers but refusing to go to doctor to find out why he was always in pain. Staying out for longer than we had agreed. Waiting for us to go to sleep so he could sneak out overnight with friends (they camped in woods).
We have had the police around because he had a female friend at ours overnight (the friend was reported missing by police as she was only 14).
His room is a tip. He takes over the living room and throws rusbbish on floor. He has destroyed shoes and other things.
Last night it all kicked off as we had asked him for 2 days to clear the living room so we could sit in it. He refused and I lost my temper. I shouted at him and he shouted back. My partner (who is sweet and never shouts) got involved and pointed out that the way my son was behaving was out of order.
Today my son did not come home until 8pm. We were worried sick. He kicked off again and shouted at my partner at huge volume trying to intimidate him.
I told him I had enough and I was done.
He has now climbed out the living room window and is not wearing shoes. I have no idea how to deal with him and how to beging to sort this out. I can't cope with him. He is not happy and frankly no one in house is happy. If this carries on he will get hurt and I will end up in hospital.
