[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am posting here about this because I am at my wit's end with my 18yo college freshman ds.

Over the break he has been questioning the point of college. He has started an 'online business' that I have through my research/snooping learned that it is some sort of scammy ecommerce website and he has joined an online community/learning group started by Andrew Tate call the Real World, which 'educates' people on how to do this. He doesn't know I know about the group he joined but no knowing what it is about is making the things ds has been saying/doing make sense.

Ds has also been echoing some of the other things Tate says about depression (that it is not real) and about the role of women in a relationship.

He has always been a gym person so I think this is where the AT attraction started with him this summer and it has spiraled in college as he is trying to figure out things. I honestly liken it to a cult. I need help figuring out how to get my ds to snap out of this. He goes to a great school, is very smart and driven. He needs redirecting but I am concerned voicing my real concerns about this will push him further into it. He is saying he wants to take a break from school and I think it is partly to see if he can get this 'business' going.

Is anyone else dealing with this? I feel like there needs to be an online support group out there of concerned moms bc from what I can tell my ds is not alone. I just think he is more into it than others. Tate is a pretty terrible person so I think there is some shame in this on my part as well and maybe others who don't want to talk about it.[/quote]

Any progress since December?

Best I can offer is to obliquely recommend alternative sources of role models to follow -- healthier fitness and business celebs. [/quote]
