Hi sept.

Again, thanks for sharing. I think we should leave it as is and let you continue to work through this without the burden of my continued curiousity. I admire your spirit, lol:

"He doesn't repsect me right now and until he does he will not get any privileges from me."

Good luck. You're fortunate he is still into his studies.

You're quite a tiger: calling the police on his girlfriend was brilliant, lol. We ought to put you in charge of preventing irresponsible pregnancies.

As tough as you are I feel compelled to ask you to sort out the following:

"He says the way I raised him was 'fake'. That was his reason why he did drugs. He also says I raised him to be someone he doesn't want to be."

Also, to what does he attribute his anxiety disorder?

Missy, I'm so sorry that you're going through this.  I remember how hard it was, sometimes, to be a teenager, and it was tough to find ways to cope.  I would urge you to say something to your parents... they're your parents and they love you.  If they get mad, remember that it's because they care about you so much and are more afraid than anything.  If your parents are actually the problem (it happens) and you don't feel comfortable going to them, is there someone else you could talk to-- like maybe a teacher or a coach?  You can actually hurt yourself a lot with the prescription drugs (I work in pharmaceutical research-- believe me, I've seen the data from the studies and it's not pretty).  Also, I know this won't help much right now, but being a teenager passes, and if you take care of yourself now it's all uphill from here!  :)

Whatever horrible things are going on in your life, succeeding in life is the best vindication.  And if they are really, really horrible things... please, seek help, maybe from a school counselor.  That's what they're there for-- and you're worth having someone listen to you who is in a position to have the resources to be able to give you the help you need and deserve.  :)
