Advice for dad and brother
I am 21 and married and no longer live with my family. But theyve been going through a lot lately, and I wish there was some way I could help them.
I recently discovered that my younger brother, 16 years old, has been sneaking out, lying to our parents, and worst of all, dealing drugs to other kids in the community. My mother has never disciplined us, and my father has no idea how to handle him anymore.
Not so long ago, he used to be such a good kid. But I dont even know him anymore. Im afraid that my little brother will end up very hurt or in jail, or worse.
How can I prevent this situation from getting worse? What can my father do to curtail this behavior? Is there anything you can suggest?

Well right now, he doesnt see your father as an impeding factor. he doesnt respect his authority and obviously not much of anyone else's either. The choice to change has to be his. What you ( or your father ) CAN do, is try and find out why the behavior started. I know thats alot to undertake, but it's most important to ending, or at least, curtailing his actions. Try to think when it started and dont be afraid to point fingers at yourselves, if need be. Once youve figured that out, the rest should fall into place. If you need anything else, I'm here. And I hate to say it, but if nothing else helps, you may have tocall the police on him and turn him in. At least youll KNOW the outcome. Good luck and God bless.
