DH needs to be made aware in clear, easy to understand language that because he is allowing SS to do these things, he is legally on the hook for them. If SS wrecks the car and hurts someone while under the influence, guess who they're going to sue? If someone calls the police on the forest party and they find kids under the influence and you know about the party, guess who's going to jail, too? Instead of husband trying to bury his head in the sand, he needs to PROVE he LOVES his son and get his butt in rehab NOW. No shipping him off to Mom and pretending he doesn't know about it anymore, no letting him do what he wants, no trying to shift the blame to you...his son has a problem and needs help. Period.
If he won't do that for his son, you and his entire family, well, to be blunt, I'd be seriously questioning his ethics and commitment. He should NOT be willing to sit and watch his minor son potentially destroy his life.
Good for you for making a stand. Don't give up.
ETA: I agree with the others, too, not allowed in your house. Drug tests, no door, take keys, phone and computer, whatever it takes.
