[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 545572, member: 11791"] WearyWoman... I'm on the pre-planning end of this situation, and my difficult child definitely has the immaturity and decision making challenges you describe. Our plan? He will NOT be going off to college. He won't even be going to college here. He will have to work for at least a couple of years - he can do an apprenticeship if he wants, but not full-time school. My difficult child needs time and real life experiences to mature... and I don't know of any other way to teach those skills. Because I "know" that the probability of failure far exceeds the probability of success, there's no way I'd be paying for or supporting the advanced education endeavor at this point in time. But... that's just me. The parents on this board... well, please stick around, you'll discover that they are actually very caring, and very experienced... and many of them have been through the worst of the worst possible scenarios, things that you and I don't even know about. So, if they come across a bit strong, it's not to be rude or condescending, it's because of "where they are coming from"... [/QUOTE]
