[quote=Anonymous]Wow, that's a tough one. Seeing any of my kids in distress like that sends me into a temporary tailspin, OP. I get it. Still, I think it's a very good possibility that this is a normal reaction to being home after a stressful college adjustment. It sounds sort of similar to going to see kids on visiting day of sleepaway camp and having them burst into tears when it's time to leave. I'd be inclined to listen and be supportive but not rush to assume your DD really wants to leave college. Maybe take a walk or drive with her and calmly listen to her concerns? Only in a fairly extreme case would I encourage her to take a semester off or transfer. Adjustments can be hard, and often the right approach is to help kids through it rather than help them out of it.[/quote]
