[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 705397, member: 3493"] I just pulled my Difficult Child out of college because he wasn't doing the work and failed everything. He is 22. One thing nobody has mentioned is a US law called HIPAA and another called FERPA. In essence, these laws say that medical providers and colleges are legally not allowed to discuss anything about a person who is 18 or over unless that person has given written permission. That could be why the school is not responding to your concerns about your child. I made all of my kids and my H sign for me to have access to their school/health insurance records. I pay the bills so I am entitled to the records and information. that ship may have sailed with your child or you could try to use it as a leveraging point to say that you will consider continuing to pay as long as you have access. You are on the hook for past bills but I can't imagine that you still have to pay future bills if you inform the college. As for the transgender, if someone is truly undergoing that transition, it is supposed to be a difficult thing emotionally. It can also account for depression, etc. beforehand as the person wrestles with the situation. [/QUOTE]
