[quote=Anonymous]My child came home mid-quarter with a mental health issue - she was going to fail the quarter and it was better to withdraw. She had a summer internship lined up in a different state, and she wanted to do that. She started therapy and medication, and my thought was to provide support for her achieving realistic goals, instead of also feeling like she had failed at the internship. We were also, however, not eager to have her be alone after having to withdraw from school. We were in a position to work remotely with her in the other state, and she had a successful internship. She wanted to return and finish her final year, but to set her up better for success we changed her living situation (to alone, she really needs that space), and she dramatically pared down her workload (which was part of the problem). She started her last year with more strategies in place, therapist support, less pressure, and a healthier living environment. We'll see how it turns out. [/quote]
