[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 458286"] All of the above. We are not throwing a monkey wrench in his decision to be a grown up but we will not support his decision to go away to school in ANY WAY when his primary reason for doing so is to use or DEAL substances away from the watchful eye of the campus police. And he doesn't NEED student loans; we have the means to pay his tuition. He had our support both financially and educationally but he threw it away when he choose not to meet the guidelines [B]HE set [/B](3.0, no substances, stay out of trouble) as a condition of a free ride. He could return home, get counseling, get back on track and go to school locally (plenty of very good schools in driving distance including a local campus of his current state uni) with the option of "away" school on the table next year. We had numerous red flags - poor grades, 2 drinking citations, coming home altered, poor attitude, culminating in his rental of an off campus apartment without our knowledge. Let me be clear that we WERE giving him a second chance away at school (even paying his rent) DESPITE all of that until he placed a large order of drug paraphernalia on Monday 8/29. (to be sent to the new apartment). We have every reason to believe he had planned to leave us on the hook for his dorm contract (which he did not cancel) until we intervened. He will not qualify for financial aid or subsidized loans even if he completes the FAFSA with our information. But yes, we are uncomfortable with him having all of our financial details including our assets. He walked away and has to deal with the consequences. It's not my fault or my concern that the FAFSA requires parental information [/QUOTE]
