This has been a horrible year. I’ve left an abusive relationship and am living with family until I can make a firm plan, I have my 17 year old son with me.
He’s had the brunt of his fathers rages which is why I left eventually,
he dropped out of college and is now working in a pub type thing which he really likes.
he seems happy enough all things considered.
last night he was supposed to go to work but got so trashed he ended up calling in sick.
he slept all day then woke up at 10 in an awful state. Sobbing and crying. Saying he hates himself and wants to die and that he’s been taking drugs? He said he had taken Xanax the night before ) all he wants to do is drink himself to death, I have been concerned about his drinking but couldn’t work out if it was normal or not as friends said all teenagers are like this.
He’s done therapy before, he was bullied at school and because of that had therapy. I’ve offered it again.
I wax so worried he would self harm or hurt himself I didn’t know what to do and haven’t slept a wink all night.
