[quote=Anonymous]If you are home in the afternoons to subtly supervise, then I might do what a PP suggested and have John (the age appropriate one) visit in your house.  I'd also have your son busy with activities if he likes that kind of thing.  I'd also do the talking to your son about how she and Dad can help him, given the divorce.  I'd do all those things.

And I would keep my eyes open, because if he starts trying stuff, or comes home with blood shot eyes, or late for curfew (which should be a really tight one at freakin' 16 years old, by the way) then you'll know about it and can act.  Because at THAT point, I'd make sure he stopped hanging out with whomsoever he is drinking and drugging with.  But he isn't doing that now, and might never.

he might like John because he plays some video game really well or something.  John has a troubled brother, but it doesn't mean John is total trouble (yes, he's done some stuff, but he's not a druggie).

also, can you befriend John and see if you like him outside of his troubled brother?[/quote]
