Pray: I presume this is a male relative of yours.Some people deal with the depression they have by taking dangerous substances to excess.As much as you love him, it is hard to change people's behavior.If you were older I would recommend a support group. In the meantime I think you should talk to your mom about your concerns and see if all of you can get counseling.AA or a therapist might be able to help
