How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

Yesterday morning a movie on the LMN called The Wrong Girl played it was about a alcoholic son dating a questionable girl and mom who doesn’t think they should date. They drink together go on a few dates and move into together. The mom doesn’t like this at all. finially she convinces him to break it off with the girl. They go on boat ride and the guy suddenly turns up missing. They search the woods and his brother comes down to help…..and then i had to go to work and my dvr decided to be retarded and not record the rest of it…

Please tell me what happens !!???

I got a phonecall this morning, I was informed that My son’s older foster brother (17) passed away yesterday from a drug overdose. I’ve never met him before, but I do know they grew up together from an early age and both lived with the same family, and my son has also told me about him.

I haven’t told him yet…He’s been so happy with life lately and I just don’t want to break his heart by telling him the news. This is going to really hurt him and I know it, from what I know they were quite close until I adopted him last October and they haven’t talked since then. Another point that might make things even worse for him is that his mom before me was a meth addict…He died from a meth overdose. There has only been bad memories with my son and his other mom, she was abusive and neglectful, and from what I heard would go insane when she wasn’t high.

What would be the best way I can approach him with this, and help him cope with this?I’m a single mom, so I’ll have to give all the support I possibly can. He’s sensitive and he’s also still only 14, I know this is really going to be hard on him.

my son and i have a very good relationship. he has always been able to come to me and answer me honestly. i had just picked him up from his best friend after spending the weekend. we went out to dinner and he was acting silly. i asked him if he ever smoked weed before. he said he tried it for the first time friday at his friends house. then he asked me if he was in trouble. i asked him the who, what, where, why, and hows. i did not get crazy because it’s more important to me that he feels that he can come to me. i did print some information about teens and alcohol and drugs. i would like some other things i could talk about that is not so textbook. straight to the point and hopefully he would so no if there is a next time. please help.
