Hi everyone, I'm at my wits end and I don't know what to do.My son keeps talking of 'not being here at the end of the month', and he won't acept help.His father says he's had enough and we'll be moving house soon, and doesn't want our son living with us.I don't know where he can go...

I asked his Dr about alternative housing,or anything at all he can help with,and he said the housing would be very expensive,and he can't think of anything else. I looked under 'contact us' at the top of this forum,and it had a section that said 'ask for help',so I did.I received an email from them that night that someone would connect with me.The next day I got a call from a lady on the team and she listened to my story and said she'll get back to me with info on help in my area.Not even an hour later she had called back with phone numbers I can call and lots of useful information.I'm going to start with a couple and see how it goes.My son mainly needs a mentor or a group situation where he can meet other young people who are going through the same things so they understand.Hopefully he'll see a light at the end of the tunnel (and it's not the train).I'll keep everyone posted as to how things go.
