I am exhausted. And so, so sad.

stealing cars. Stealing my car… caused over $11,000 in damage, that I had to pay for. Pushing me and being violent. Leaving physical bruises on me. Leaving for days on end. Drugs and vaping. Messaging friends things like “I’m gonna bash the f-ing s—t out of my mum, steal her car and f—k off, she will never see me again”. Or “I hate that f-ing b—ch the only woman I’d honestly flog the f-ing sh-t out of”. Skipping school. Getting suspended. Smashing fists and head through the walls of our home. Ripping down his door in a rage. Stealing money. Lying. Gaslighting. Parties. Stealing alcohol.

we have gone from being captain of the football team and school captain. To a deadbeat loser.

I am so sad. I can’t do this anymore.

If your teenager steals your car or you find drugs. Give them real world consequences. Call the police. Take their phone. Get them into rehab.

You need to go to the police, it will be too late if he carries out his threats.
Im so sorry, this must be so hard.
Did anything change in his life to send him off the rails?

Are the police involved following the car stealing?

whatisthegoddamnholdup · 17/06/2025 22:02

Please call the police on him, it’s your first step in getting help, you cannot live like this, please call the police, he needs to understand that actions like this have consequences.
