I hate to be the wet blanket, but it seems like somewhere along the line you lost control of your child. At 16, I don't see much hope for getting it back. He only has 2 more years before he is an adult. I hear that military schools (or court mandated boot camps) are very successful at giving young adults motivation and direction. It might seem harsh, but you seem like you are at your wits end. I know someone who went through a court mandated bootcamp, and he is a completely different person: off drugs, polite, and respectful. I hope and pray for the best for your family.
