My son is 16 and has moved out about 2 weeks ago. He is on drugs, has dropped out of school and is disrespectful to me. His father is rich and has two other sons and does not help him because of his drug problems and because he says he has to think of his other two kids.
I have called children's Aid, counsellors and crisis lines but they have been no help to us.
I wanted him to know that I think about him and I love him; therefore, I was writing him emails that I love him and I want him back but today, he sent a message through a friend that if I don't stop emailing him, he would get a restraining order against me.
I am so depressed and sad. I don't know what to do? People, specially my best friend, blame me for his behavior and that his moving out. They say he was so innocent and because of my restrictions and rules, he has turned this way. I have lost my son on one hand and on the other hand, my friends and other people's judgment. I have no support and I don't know what to do? Since last two weeks, I have got two infections and I cannot stop crying. Can you help me?
