I need help with a teenage son.?

Question

I am lost as to what to do.. I have a son he is 18. He is so mad at the world. His dad and I have been divorced for 15 yrs. His dad not around so much. Both of us remarried dad has 2 other sons.He right now does not work but is looking. He goes through g/f like pez candy.He is so moody all the time. He dresses all in black, wears eye liner sometimes, and thats all ok with me. But what is not ok with me is his "the whole world sucks I hate this place there is no god. no one loves me" thing he has going on. He told his dad today to *uck off b/c he told him no he could not do something( this was after he was gone for 2 days to a friends house w/o calling home). He does suffer from ADD and depression but wont go on meds for it. I dont know what to do for him. He goes off on these fits and blows up in eveyones face and walks off and comes back like everything is ok and we should not be mad at him. We tested for drugs nothing. I am lost I can even fit it all on here about things that go on.

Answer 1

Sweetheart, you think YOU are lost...HE is the one who is lost. He is looking for something, but not sure what it is. Yet, he is 18 so you can't legally do anything about it. Give him time, he will eventually grow up and out into the world that he is not so educated about. Tell him you love him. Construct family gatherings and invite him.

Answer 2

Sometimes there is nothing to do, but wait it out. This too will pass. I handled a similar problem with my oldest son by just letting go, getting on with my life and letting him go his way. He made lots of mistakes, including a little jail time. I didn't bail him out, but visited, with love. That was the best thing for him. He learned he didn't want to live like that. He is finally on a good track. Had I obsessed over him and worried myself frantic it wouldn't have changed anything. Hang in there is all I can advise, and do something for yourself instead.

Answer 3

you need gods help for this one. prey
