How do we deal with dangerous teens when NOBODY will help? (long rant of a mom over the edge) :(

10. been there still there

I feel for you. I had the same problem my son now being 37 still with me still causes issues. Here is what I did when he was 15

We had a program called 766 (not sure if it is still there) but it was for children with "learning disabilities" through the court system I was able to get John in a program that the town and state paid for. He was sent to ELAN in Maine. Unfortunately he came back worse. My option now is to go to the courts and get him removed. Easier said than done.

I know your emotions are up and down and I so feel for you. My advice so you don't end up like me as it will get worse is to petition the courts and make him a ward of the state. They will find treatment, not that it will work but you will have peace for a bit until guilt sets in and you let him back home.

I'm going out on a limb here by saying he's father isn't around much if not at all. The reason I say that is because there are lot's of families who have someone like that in their house, but when there is a male present they seem to be able to get the kid out or make some sort of change

To this day my 37 year old, who I say is stuck on 15 years old (that's when he started using drugs) will laugh at me when I ask him to leave he tells me to evict him as he laughs, bangs cabinets, gets the animals going....blah blah blah

I feel for you I so do. If you ever want to talk I am here

Peace and love to you
