What do I do with my felon son?

From what I read your doing all you can do. until he decides to do the right thing or gets on the right medication unfortunately that's gonna be his life. leaving him alone and to stop helping him might be what it takes for him to realize what he is doing and how its affecting those around him. When he is in his right state of mind talk to him and tell him what you're plans are and stick to them.

If none of the medication is working check out truehope.com. They offer an alternative treatment for his condition and you can check out their videos on youtube. Ive been down the road that your on and I know from experience that its not an easy thing. I wish the best for you and your son.

You say he's 24? Did your son use a weapon of any style? It is a difficult factor for a mom to stand, however there's not anything that may be performed approximately the list. The 'Nolle Prosequi' didn't drop any expenditures, however it used to be in most cases in view that of the woman being ex-female friend and he or she didn't desire to testify towards her reward boyfriend. The attack cost remains to be legitimate.

I agree with all the comments.

Tough love is sometimes the only thing that helps and it does seem like you are doing all you can but at the same time dont give up on your baby.

My dad was never really around, he would come around every other year and act like everything was fine.

I am 23 years old and havent seen him since I was 16, my mom was never really "there for me" I moved out of her house when I was 15.

I love my parents but they both could have done a better job with me and I resent them both for not really being there so I have a soft spot for anybody going through things with their kids.

Dont give up on him, keep praying.

I wish you and your family good luck.

Just because you gave birth to someone and love them doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your own life for them. Frankly.....I'd run and hide!

You are obviously miserable with this (excuse me...) loser kid you are stuck with.

I don't care if you love him or not because he has a screw loose and there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe you were the greatest mom in the world or a real creep. I have no idea. However, the fact that you are so torn by this tells me you were a good mom.

I know a lady who spent her entire life loving a son that was a torture killer! She adored him and she spent her fortune on lawyers and help for him. He was sentence to death in CA and commuted to life later. He escaped and was captured. He is now on parole ( Do ya believe it?) and living life on the outside in Utah after he raped and torture-killed a 17 year old boy to death in the 70's.

What does that have to do with you? It just shows that a mother that is really, really good can love a kid that is not worth it. Maybe your son will turn out to be a great guy and fine in the future. I believe he may be. Maybe he will be a total loser. But that is not the point! The point is WHAT ABOUT YOU?

You have a life of your own. You deserve to be free of the BS this is causing and to not have his life guide every stupid thing you do. TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK.

Don't think I don't know. I was a kid in trouble when I was young but my parents didn't give a crap. I was on my own at 15 and I got through life on my own and I am fine and have a very good comfortable life. I earned it on my own. My parents didn't care about me until the day they died! I just had to get over it. it scars you and it has a bad affect but I had to learn it was more about them then me. If a kid is good; they will survive just fine with or without bad parents.

I do understand the mom thing. My only child was killed 20 years ago. We were very close so it destroyed me and I had to come back from hell.

I am just saying that you have a life too. Because you had this son you love doesn't mean his life is your life. It is not. You have to maintain and demand your life as well.

What would I do? I would do all I could afford to set him up in an apartment when he gets out of prison (IF you can afford it and not hurt your own finances) and help him with phone calls and verbal support. I'd try to set him up so he had a good start. Then I'd run real fast in the other direction!

I would not have him live with me. I would not have him control my life. I would not be his punching bag (mentally or spiritually or financially or any other way). Why are you worried about your gun collection? LISTEN TO YOURSELF. You know you need to worry, don't you?

Move. don't give your number. Whatever it takes. You just make it easier for him to be a loser. He will stand on his feet or fall on his face when you stop holding him up. Get a life. good luck to you and I wish you well. I also really wish your son well and hope he does fine.

Do not listen to your sister. Please! She is a psych? That doesn't mean crap when you know what is in your head and your heart. Listen to your own head and nobody else. (no offense to your sis but it isn't her son either. Psych's are in it for their own cure!) In your heart you know what is best for you. and you know what is best for your son.

That is what is so hard for you. You know you have to cut him loose and push him out of the nest. You waited too long but it is not too late. Let him be a man and if he dies or lives...that is his to do. That is God's will now ... you have no control and that is obvious.

Believe it or not...what is best for you is best for your son even if that is leaving him and getting your own life back. He will be healthier mentally if you are.

Take care

Give him a choice. Get a job, or hit the road. He has to be a man. You cant take a pill to become an adult.

Help him don't be like all these other parents and give up on your son let him live with you and help him get on his feet.

sometimes tough love is all there is left to do.
