Hi @lizard0812
I can hear just how much distress you are feeling right now It is such a tough time for your family, and given how unpredictable the behaviour has been, it is completely understandable that you are feeling overwhelmed right now
Would you consider speaking to someone at Lifeline or the Parent Line about some ways of maintaining your wellbeing when your son comes home tomorrow?
We are also here if you need to chat tomorrow when he comes home. We are here to listen

What you are describing about feeling stuck, is something I feel a lot of parents here can relate to

Please feel free to check in with us, and even to have a vent space, over the next few days as your son returns home. We will be here for you if you need put the emotions down in writing, or when you need someone to hear the pain you are feeling

Hey there @lizard0812, thanks for updating us on how things are going
I'm sorry that things haven't been all that great with your son. While it's great that he answered your call, stealing money can definitely break the trust you had and that's okay. It can be hard to see if things will be different in the future, sometimes it can take time for people to change.
I was wondering, have you seen your psychologist recently to talk about how you've been feeling with your son home?

Hey there @lizard0812,
Thanks for the update I'm sorry to hear that going back to school hasn't gone well. Do you think changing schools will be helpful for him?
Hopefully the pediatrician appointment this Friday goes well, it can be difficult to provide support when they won't go to appointments. Is his dad any help in regards to going to appointments?
It sounds like last night was rough for you, I'm glad that things settled down in the end although feeling unsafe is never a good feeling. I was wondering, have you spoken to your psychologist recently? It might be helpful to bring up these recent events with them, to discuss how things are going, what do you think?
I'm also going to tag in some other users for their support @taokat @sunflowermom @Happy @Schooner @compassion @Faob_1
