Long story but have been aware and v unhappy that my 15 yr old has been smoking weed for 2 years but recently found evidence as to use of other drugs over summer - ketamine , mdma, -at parties on nights when he lied about his whereabouts He owned up when confronted and says he is sorry to but obviously enjoys drugs and is attracted to party drug life style. I am terrified at his attitude and have to be honest don't see how to make him understand that we are not just out of touch parents. Anyone have any advice how to deal with this before it gets worse? School has been supportive. He's been seeing counsellor since I discovered the weed. He is highly secretive about his friends and whereabouts and while constantly challenging curfew he does adhere to curfew. Can't lock him up forever though. He says it doesn't cost much so money isn't an issue either. Doing well at school at moment.

After reading a book called the game by Jim smart on kindle my 12 year old son started to take large amounts of led and weed. He is currently in treatment and his therapist told me that she believes that the trigger for his drug abuse was reading the book. I feel like an awful parent for letting him read it so I am trying to spread the word about the book. Please help me.

Spent most of my day phoning 101 reporting my 13 year old son missing. He had stolen money that was raised for charity to pay a drug debt. Feel lost and out of control. He has been seeing a private counsellor for over a year and we have support for social services for substance misuse for the past few weeks. Behaviour at school is bad so have MABS for that also. What more can I do???
