i’m 16 years old & six months ago i moved into my dad’s apartment after living w/ my mom since i was five after they divorced.

i was taken out of the home bc the judge found that her and her boyfriend were mistreating me. so i have been with my dad & recently i woke up in the middle of the night & walked past him doing something on the couch. he quickly covered it up, but i was pretty sure i saw marijuana. my younger brother who is 13 mentioned that dad goes into the bathroom with a shoebox and then it always smells afterwards so i have been paying attention to this. sometimes he asks to borrow my money because he doesn’t have enough of his own. this morning he went to work & i went in his room & in a baggie in his drawer i saw it and a pipe. i don’t know what to do since i can’t turn to my mom because were not on speaking terms but my aunt is like my best friend. i am scared and embarassed to tell because the problem probably can’t be solved. my mom told me once that my dad was a pothead and alcoholic but i didn’t believe her now i know it’s true and that was 10 years ago. i’m not sure if i should tell my aunt because i’m very close to her. i really need advice & help

Yes you need to tell your aunt. He shouldn’t be asking for your money. He is suppose to be caring for you not asking money from you. He is not being a grown up. This situation is not good for you or your brother.
