6. How old is he?

He made that threat because he knew it was the worst he could say to hurt you. Will he really do it? Probably not. And people change names all the time (like most married women). If he does change it, he's still your son and always will be. Right now you're blaming yourself for a mess of trouble that isn't your fault. It's a frustrating place to be. I hope he gets help and learns to see you as the incredible resource he is taking for granted and pushing away. Take care of yourself first.
