[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 62002, member: 3626"] It is sad that we have to "settle." I dreamed of high school graduation, college graduation, engagement, marriage to a college grad with like ambitions/drives, grandkids. High school graduation is out the window. Right now, I'd be thrilled with a GED. A boy friend who actually has a job would be nice. I'd prefer no grandkids any time in the next 10 years or so. She's not in jail, she's not pregnant, she's not using drugs. She can keep a job when I'm there to push her to go to work on time every day. It's not what I wanted, but it is much better than what could have been or even what was 2 months ago. Ian may not be where you wanted but he's not a failure, either. You aren't supporting him and the government wouldn't be, either, if they didn't see a real need to do so. He has a wonderful young woman who loves him and cherishes who he is. On the job front, he's not that different from a lot of young people of his generation: they work if they have to but are quite happy to not work. [/QUOTE]
