We have a 16 yr old son who was expelled from school last year. He wants to improve and return to school. His parents are divorced for 10 yrs. His mother left and his dad raised him, but just spoiled him and didn't take enough interest to instill any valuable traits in him. Loved him and provided for him, but didn’t know how to parent.
The boy is good, no drugs, smoking, running around, stays home on computer games. But he is ADHD.
His dad has become an alcoholic and the boy is with us for a couple more days. (Has been with us for 2 weeks) Then we plan to take him to his mom’s who has remarried and has a good marriage with children.
BUT the boy has TERRIBLE anxiety meltdowns. Pacing, crying, shaking, needing comfort with holding him, afraid of his future life. Blood pressure was 129/90 and heart rate was 123. I’m not sure his mom & husband will understand his anxiety attacks.
He is refusing to leave and we cannot keep him. He will have to go to his Mom’s on Tuesday, and I have no idea how to handle that as he refuses to go.
So needed to vent. If anyone has any words of wisdom 🙏🏻
