[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 675704, member: 18958"] Defiant, I have been thinking about your situation, some more. Have you thought about talking to your Rabbi and his wife about the decision you are about to make? They know your son (and you) and we do not. Maybe your Rabbi will have other ideas we have not thought of. He cares about you, about your son, about the family. He knows about resources in your community. Are you prepared emotionally if your son takes a turn for the worse, if he emancipates? How will you feel? It will be too late to turn back, I think. How will you feel about the subsidy, then? If your son is choosing poorly. It is a distinct possibility, that at least initially, he may continue along the wrong road. Because he will decide to change when and if he wants to. While it is theoretically possible that he will change for the better, it is not a sure thing. It could be argued that if he is unable to financially swing living independently in your area without your help, he may not be a candidate for emancipation. While I do not think I write gibberish to you, my son did not leave until he was just 23. When he left at 19, it seemed too soon. Your son has strengths my son may lack, but he is young. Your situation is not a desperate one. You and your son have options. COPA [/QUOTE]
