[QUOTE="jamrobmic, post: 10298, member: 1412"] Thanks, everyone. You've given me some different perspectives to consider, and it has helped just to discuss it with someone other than husband (who just wants difficult child out of our house, and able to support himself, immediately if not sooner, lol). It is kind of silly to worry so much about something that may or may not happen, and that I can't do anything about, anyway, if difficult child decides that's what he's going to do (since he's 18). And it's better than worrying that he's going to jail, which was our big worry a couple of years ago. Corky, I hear you about them doing the opposite of what we say. My son is definitely the same way. I think the more I tell him to think this over, the more he digs in his heels that he's going. I think for now I'll let him proceed (it has gotten him up and out of the house before dusk, so that's a plus). There are some things he'll have to do first, even if they do end up taking him, so that will give him some time to think with a clearer head (hopefully). [/QUOTE]
