[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 558281, member: 6546"] My first impression of this conversation is that your parents probably very quickly did some accounting in their heads and were more disturbed by the immediate prospects of wasting thousands of dollars and less than you were admitting to drug use / abuse. This tells me that they are probably not real surprised by the drug use - so they must have at least had suspicions up until this point. They were probably hoping that school would inspire you to focus more on your education. (Just my impression, of course...) And now, you've basically announced that you'd like to withdraw from school and try rehab instead... My advice is to give your parents a couple of days to wrap their minds around this new idea and let them brainstorm some financing. Approach it again in a little bit... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
