[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does he even want to go to college?  If it's to train for a career, I might think it's worthwhile.  But, if he doesn't have a plan, I wouldn't be spending my money on it either.  What about some type of vocational program, like the Lincoln School?[/quote]I don't know why he wants to, probably to get stoned and drunk away from home (God knows he probably does it now at home).[/quote]

OP, not to be snarky but I'd recommend some family therapy. Emory Luce Baldwin is good for this kind of thing if you are in DC or MD. You are talking about decisions that may impact the rest of his life and it seems as though frustration and bitterness might be keeping everyone from thinking as clearly as you might like. I have one kid who is pretty difficult, so I do get it, but it's hard for a kid to feel good if his family doesn't seem to like him. Try changing the dynamics (it really is all you can control and a good family therapist who works with teens is necessary) and see what happens. College or not it doesn't sound like your family or your son are in very good places emotionally or in terms of your relationships. [/quote]
