[QUOTE="Lil, post: 656495, member: 17309"] Not at all Copa. I [U]do[/U] desperately want this to be a good thing...the thing that "fixes" him. Realistically, I know that it's unlikely (in the extreme) he'll spend a few months getting a certification in computer tech and suddenly be a more mature, responsible young man. But I've said to myself and others that if it doesn't work out and he just resigns in a few weeks...well, he'll be no worse off than he is now. At a minimum, it'll give ME some time away from him. I'm trying very hard to keep a picture in my mind of putting him on that plane with a smile and excitement that he's embarking on a new adventure. I hope that's the attitude he goes into this with...some determination to work hard and get his education and a job. He does have some vague plans...he wants to complete the program asap and then move to another area, where this girl he's been "on-line dating" for a couple years lives. Since it's a major metro area, that's not bad...there are jobs in major metro areas. But heck, at the moment I'm just happy that he said his first day at work was "really fun" (which means he's less likely to quit) and he's getting his community service done. [/QUOTE]
