Hi @USTEWA2, welcome to ReachOut and thank you so much for sharing your story. What you are going through is a really challenging experience that a lot of parents face to different degrees. It can be such a disempowering feeling to be stuck and unsure of what to do next. I was wondering whether you or your son have thought about seeing a therapist? They may be able to help you work out these challenges and act as a mediator It would also give you the opportunity to receive some support for yourself - going through these situations can be so tough on well-being. Also, do you have a plan for when your son becomes violent? It must be really hard to experience that.
There is also a service called ParentLine which offers telephone counselling. It also has a number of referrals and resources that may be helpful for you. Please know that you are not alone. In fact, a lot of other parents have posted about similar concerns. You can read their posts here but I have also tagged them, so that they may be able to provide some support on your thread.
Please feel welcome to keep us updated
