Hi Ozziekez, I sense from your post that you feel you’ve lost control... You and millions of other parents of teenage children! My children are a bit younger than yours and this is an age I’m not looking forward to.

Your 17 year old (?) son has been having sex and may have been taking drugs. You asked him to clean up his act and he left home to go and live in his mates house. To make things worse, the mate told his parents that you chucked your son out. As this is untrue, I'm sure this must have hurt you terribly. Have you spoken to the boys parents to find out what is going on? Are you concerned that Mitch may have a serious drug problem? Do you want him to come home? Does he need any medication?

You sound like a loving caring mum who is concerned about her sons welfare. At seventeen he is still so young and vunerable. What do you want to do? What does your heart tell you?
