[QUOTE="ML, post: 322061"] You know what, as long as you keep doing what you are doing he's moving in the right direction. So maybe he'll go to college at 20 or 21 instead of 18. Just because it may take our kids a little longer doesn't mean they won't make the finish line. And if he winds up doing "menial" work, who cares as long as he is happy. One thing I have to work hard at is staying in the moment. In 4th grade I started worrying about middle school and someone pointed out to me that it was still 3 years away. If I project too much onto an uncertain future I work myself up into full blown panic. Try to enjoy your son *today* and focus on developing his strengths. What are his natural gifts? Encourage him to follow his talent and know you aren't alone. Many of us share these same parental concerns. There is a mourning process that seems to resurface just when I think I've reached acceptance. One day at a time. Love and hugs from another mom who gets it. ML [/QUOTE]
