[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 238012, member: 3388"] Fran, What do you do if your difficult child won't accept any sort of help or advice? difficult child 1 will only do what he wants to do when he wants to do it. Once he turns 18, we'll have absolutely no control over him, not that we have much now. We made him come up with two plans for after graduation. The first is contingent upon him being able to to borrow enough money on his own to attend an advanced tech school far from home. This is a BIG IF... The second is that as part of his graduation gift, we will pay for the first, last, and security deposit on a small studio apartment, near the community college, where he has been taking on-line computer courses (paid for by our school dept. through the advanced tech program.) I've been putting away things he will need such as sheets, towels, pots, pans, etc. He will be able to continue taking night classes and will have to find a day time job. Now, I'm smart enough to know that it is highly unlikely that either of the above plans will go smoothly... WFEN [/QUOTE]
