| What would you do if your child faked going to college all fall (while living at home)? I mean - faked going to class, studying! Ultimately the truth came out, but what is the path forward? |

It's like adults who fake going to work after they've been laid off. It happens a lot more than you think. Therapy is in order to address the reasons why they did not attend, and why they lied about it. |

| If nobody paid into it, it's better than them enrolling and flunking out. |

| Ooo there was a dateline about this and he murdered his parents when it was all about to come out. Or at least one parent, I forget. |

| The parents should question how out of touch they were with their kid that they never saw a college ID, the kid on any of the college websites students use, the kid gaining knowledge in any particular subject, met any of the kid's college friends, etc. |

| What snuggles your kid is facing and why he is afraid to confide in you? |

| My kid actually did that. It took a couple years and put him back on track. Now he works as a pharmacist. Difficult time for us as a family. |

| Your kid has had time facing reality and fears your judgment of them. You all probably need to see family therapist to learn some new behaviors. |
