[quote=Anonymous]OP. - Is there anyone that your son might talk to who might be a positive with out judgement in his life to help him, too, prioritize why so many things are hitting him?  If he will not engage in talking to you and DH, this is a key step needed.  I agree that a family counselor might be the way to go because he has to have a buy-in to do something.   A mental health screening also seems key, but if on weed and drinking, then pills may only complicate things.

It may be that you and DH might even benefit from seeing a therapist to get advice on how to intercede as a team and also how to deal with the impact of DS on your other children, especially if younger.  We had a rough few years with a DD who was a top student in college when mental health first manifested itself clearly, and I will tell you that the impact on our middle daughter her younger typical sibling is there in how the two older girls relate today( married, with good jobs and two kids each).  So just find a way to keep the others’ needs in view, too.   [/quote]
