[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 281340, member: 5941"] I agree that our kids are deaf to a thousand compliments and encouragements and but manage to hear and hold on to the few times we say something they think is critical. You can't control the way he perceives things. All you can do is continue to give your love and support, whether he succeeds or fails. He graduated. That's a good thing. Give yourself a hug for making it to this milestone. My difficult child 1 dropped out of community college last October after six weeks, couldnt' handle the architecture and CAD classes that were prerequisites to her major in interior design. It was too much for her after the pampering of a therapeutic day school. She worked part time instead and is now taking an English class at the same college, planning to go back full time in the fall. A step forward, a step back, then a step forward again. I wish your son the best of luck. And don't stew over this another minute. [/QUOTE]
