My 17 year old son is going to be 18 on jan. 3rd. he says he is moving out that day. We originaly had and agreement that he'd graduate first. but all of that is out the window with him now as he now wants to move in with his 17 year old girlfriends family. Which I am worried bout as she is already trying to get pregnant by him. Neither have a job, and what future plans my son did have he has now thrown out the window. Should Ijust let him move out and live and learn or what should I do?

I know you want the best possible life for your son but it will be best to just let him move out. Let him learn from his mistakes. Be supportive of him and let him know you'll be there for him no matter which path he chooses to follow. I wish you the best!

I am trying really hard to be supportive but he is also bi-polar and I am worried that he won't take his medications. I know i have to let him live and learn its just so hard. I have actually started pulling back from him now to give him more adult responsiblities.

You should probably just let him be out on his own for awhile. Trying to keep him at home would just make him want to fight against you more.
