[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619894, member: 1550"] Hugs for your hurting mommy heart. Detach, detach, detach. If he has to pay it back, it is not your problem, it is his. After your obligation to pay the dorm is finished, you can decide not to do it again. It does not sound like he is ready to seriously go to college yet. Our kids were not given to give us reasons to brag...[I][B]our own accomplishments[/B][/I] are what we should be proud of, not somebody else's, not even our child's. Likewise, we are not responsible when our adult children mess up. It is not worth the energy to even read what your friend's kids are doing. Life is what it is. You can't change it. You can only accept it and move on and enjoy YOUR OWN life.Your own life is what you own and it is precious. Don't waste it. Want to learn a great new concept? Google up "Radical Acceptance" and read about it. Changed my entire outlook on life and I am no longer that person who is overly worried about the future. Give it a shot :) [/QUOTE]
