[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 595463, member: 11791"] Ditto MWM... sounds like this kid had a really rough start in life... and the adoptive parents were working with one hand tied behind their backs, so to speak, because back then, there seemed to be an assumption that love and nurture would conquer any prior issues and challenges. in real life... biomom's choices left a trail of disaster for everybody else. It's not fair. But it might explain some of where he is coming from. Often "our" kids do better in tech-school programs than at university, at least until the mid-20s. The programs are shorter, more "focused", fewer options... he might actually surprise you on that one, especially if he's "hooked" on the career, at least for now. [/QUOTE]
