[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 549358, member: 11001"] I think you are being hard on yourself. These kids are not all bad all the time. It sounds like he was enjoying this family time-he needed it. His choices and denial are his. He has to figure it out for himself. If he needs to be in college town to finially "grow a brain", so be it. You already have given options and he is bent on this path. How are you an ostrich? What else can you do? It stinks to watch them make bad decisions, but that is learning for our difficult children-the hard way always!! You have made him responsible for the tuition debt and that is great. You have not bailed him out and that is great. All you can do is enjoy what you can and watch as they dive off cliffs into shallow water. I know first hand how hard this is. We just ask our higher power for his helping hand. Your a good mom Sig. ((Hugs)) [/QUOTE]
