I am at my wits end. My teenage son has become a heavy user of cannabis and his behaviour has been appalling - aggressive, abusive - he has been kicked out of one school and started another. He now spends a lot of time slumped in bed or on chat rooms, hanging out with horrible friends. His best friend has been arrested for drug dealing. I am trying to hang in there and hope it's a phase - he still wants to go to University and he can be reasonably affectionate. I still see glimmers of the boy I love. Unfortunately my husband has had enough. He says he can't live with him any more - he can't cope with the verbal abuse. My husband is insisting I kick my son out of the house and says he won't return until he's gone. What can I do? I feel like I am caught between two rutting stags. I'm trying to keep it together for the sake of my other children. I can't contemplate letting my son walk the streets. My husband won't listen to anyone or attend counselling with my son. My son calls my husband horrible names and says he hates him and no longer considers him a father. It's all spiralled out of control dramatically and very quickly. Christmas is around the corner. What shall I do? Has anyone else been in this situation? I loe them both but I can't cope much longer. Help.
