[QUOTE="cakewalk, post: 365339, member: 7060"] As I've read everyone's recent updates on difficult child's moving home or difficult child's constantly enjoying/creating drama, I feel all of your pain but quietly am relieved that I'm not living that life right now. Fran, even though my son wasn't physically in my life/home, I felt responsible to accomodate him whenever possible until he was 18 and finished school. Thank you for recognizing that. When he turned 18 and completed his last day of school (of course, I didn't hear a word from him), an incredible weight was lifted. My son promised my husband and me when he was 16 that he would make our lives "heck" for two years. The two years is now up! He's legally an adult. Nomad, there is no communication with my son now and the only conversations/messages since last August are listed in my original post. Never did I receive a "Hello, Mom, just checking in..." call/text. There is nothing wrong with community college... if he actually goes through with the entire application process. There is a difference between filling out an online application (not confirmed he even did that, I heard from a third party about the community college) and actually going to the registrar, financial aid office, and having a schedule in hand. I also hope that if he does find himself in college in the fall, that he be disciplined to "attend" classes. Being on an athletic scholarship would entail a mandatory study hall and an expectation of a GPA monitored by the coach. Without the sport, I honestly can't say if he would apply himself. I hope he goes through with ANY college but it's also really sad to hear that he didn't even pursue the 19 coaches that constantly reached out to him and at least listened to what they had to offer. Thank you H&R, Jane, JJJ, & Susie for the supportive posts as well. Last August - December I honestly didn't care if I was dead or alive. I was in my lowest place I have ever been. With a fabulous, supportive cast of characters such as my husband, husband's family, my easy child, my doctor, and reading the PE forum almost-daily, everything is going to be okay. [/QUOTE]
