[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 565217"] been there done that too CJ - last January. H had a "come to Jesus" talk with him to try to sort out what was going on. After about an hour of difficult child lying and being hostile and maintaining that he was enrolled in school and everything was peachy keen, difficult child broke down and sobbed. Told h that he had failed out, was broke, and felt trapped in the college town by his girlfriend. (she transferred schools to join him there) That he didn't have any real friends, he hated the college town, he really didn't like his roommate who is actually an **** and a total slob, that he felt lost and he thought he might be suffering from depression. That he failed out because he literally didn't want to get out of bed on most days. He sobbed in my arms like a baby. Ugly hiccuping sobs. And we really bonded. The next day, I bought him one of those mushy blue mountain cards and poured out my heart to him in a written page . I left it on his bed. He barely acknowledged it, but I felt that was typical teen behavior. Until it all went to hell again. He became a jerk again, moved out completely a few days later, back in completely 2 days after that and moved out again the next morning. He took almost everything in his room except the furniture, but pointedly left the card and the letter. I won't go there again. My heart can't take it.
