Car Explanation

Should have explained the car a bit better, we both work too far away to pick him up from school everyday, take him to rehab or work, and neither of us can afford the PTO (it would be about 4 hrs a day). There is no public transportation, nor does the school provide busing to our apartment (different, worse school district). The family support has also said they do not want to pick him up because of the same reasons.

Stinks because I would love nothing more then to take the car away completely, but we're kinda stuck about it.

The bio dad situation isn't great, very much a white trash hillbilly with multiple kids, a trailer, with drug usage there. Not really involved in teens life (was for a few months in 2012); step dad situation is better, but he's a religious zealot and the one the teen was spending weekends with. Main problem there is the crazy factor, and also the fact that there were limited to no rules at the house (repenting for your sins type mentality). We are by far, the most stable household.
