[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 281341, member: 84"] Thanks guys. :) I've moved past it now. It just tugged at those Mommy heart strings when he said it, ya know? I'm so proud of the progress he's made in actually getting enrolled this year. easy child is taking him up for orientation and to get his housing straightened out on Monday. And I've taken her aside and suggested they make a stop at the disabilities office while they're at it. Personally, I would have felt more comfortable with him attempting a class or two at the community college first. But I've managed to keep my mouth shut. lol You never know with this kid. He could very well graduate in 4 years. Or he could come home in under two weeks totally overwhelmed. Hard to tell. But I have to give him that chance. Suz you're right. He's not where he was at 18 or even 20. Then he was no where near ready. Now, well he has as much chance as any 18 yr old going in. And he'll never know until he tries. Funny, but now that he's actually worked his way thru the enrollment process.......For the first time in many years I'm scared for him, worried how he will manage on a huge campus in a large city on his own. It's worse than when I sent him off to kindergarden. lol Raising difficult children certainly is never boring. :) [/QUOTE]
