That must be so worrying for you OP. Do you think he’s taking drugs himself? Have you talked to Frank?

I'm unsure which seems so wrong as I'm his parent. He doesn't get lot of money and nothing is Going missing. I hope he isn't. I have lost trust in him and he says he hates us and we don't love him and we are trying to control him I'm at my whits end I have no idea were to start

Sorry Kay apparent from offering sympathy, which won’t be of any use to you, I can’t offer any practical advice. The only thing I can think of is calling Family Lives Thanks

Have you tried speaking to this friend of ds and advise his friend of the consequences (getting police involved etc). Also I would try to speak to the other boys parents if needed and see if they can do something about it. I understand Kay it must be really hard to see your ds getting into trouble because of someone. But if he is not taking drugs or dealing with drugs then hopefully he is sensible. He is just enjoying the feel of being an adult (in a way). I would try to keep his time busy by engaging him with sports or some other activities he likes. I have a ds 15 years and going through rough patch as well (refusing to do anything other than play on xbox and mobile) so I understand. Praying for your son and hoping things get sorted out soon. Good luck!
