Sig, I am so sorry. I felt the same way about college . . . it was so important to me that my difficult child get her degree but she, too, threw away several chances.
Your difficult child is still young, though. They say that the brain doesn't fully mature until 25. Fran used to always say that he isn't done cooking yet.
You have done everything you could and more to help him but he is obviously not ready yet. So all you can do is let him go his way and hope he matures.
