[quote=Anonymous]Do you have a family counselor? If you don't - get one. This is serious.

If he is dealing, his suppliers may be very very dangerous people. You are going to want some professional advice to navigate this best.

We found out DD was smoking pot over the past few months and just learned it and some other choice items this week.  She is a little younger, so she is still at the age where we have a bit more influence, but since we had evidence, we were able to sit her down, confront her with it, and she had already come to the conclusion independently to stop. Obviously this doesn't sound like it will translate well to your issue, but FWIW, you are not alone. We've also taken away her privileges and she can earn them back over time as she rebuilds her trust.

Does your 16 year old have text? Use of the family car? Allowance or clothing money?  A computer in his room? Explain that these are only for members of the household who remain drug free and the drugs will not be tolerated. Then, if you know or find that he is on drugs- take them away.

Our doctor and family counselor suggested us getting a breathalyzer and a home drug test and letting DD know that as her parents we have these tools at our disposal and may use them if we feel needed. That if there is a positive, privileges will be taken. [/quote]
