Thanks, everyone.
He's got another year, or at least another semester, until he graduates from high school. Please, everyone, send your PT prayers that he will actually go back and finish! He needs 3.5 credits!
So, he will be at home for at least another year, so at least I have that. 
We have a rough time with him for about three years now. He has been in some trouble with the law - nothing serious, but it all adds up. He has also spent quite a bit of time in a juvenile residential treatment facility. So, in a way, I feel like I've lost so much ... so much time, so many little milestones with teenagers that we didn't have.
Guess I'm just feeling old and blue.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
