[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 687407, member: 1550"] He is almost certainly still using drugs beyond pot. I strongly recommend taking the car. He will either have tranportation to get drugs or kill himself or somebody else. My daughter was in three serious accidents and two were in friends cars after we stopped letting her drive. At least she was responsible, not us. I am totally baffled at buying kids brand new cars for any reason...and for those who have had substance abuse issues? Its a place to stay, but also a guided missle. My daughter liked to snort ADHD drugs too.along with that often goes other types of speed, like meth. She did meth. We had no idea how deep she had been into drugs until after she quit using them. That was after we made her leave the house. We were concerned about our youmger kids. You have a younger kid too. He needs protection from this brother. A fresh start is only as good as the person's intentions. If your son truly wants to change, it helps. If he is still going to use drugs, its a snap to meet new dealers and users. I am a cynic...drug test him, although there are drugs that dont show up and they know which ones. Just br careful. He is not acting as if he is a normal teen with goals and a wish to attain independence. I hope you remember that y o ur home is your sanctuary. Dont let your son boss you arent. He may like it bit iys not good for anyone. Dpnt try to make him like tou by buying him things. Hell expect more and more and come to feel entitled to your money. I would set strict drug rules, stick to them, and perhaps its time for him to leave? His brother doesnt need to see it pr to be bullied. Please think of yourselves andbe kind to yourself. You have done all you can, but you cant control another person, not even your son. The only person you can control is yourself snd your reaction to things. Hugs for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
