[quote=Anonymous]Sorry about what you're going through. It sounds, though, as if you have pretty high expectations for him (nothing wrong with that at all) and so does he, but there is a definite mismatch between expectations and reality. It may be that you need to back off and let him "take charge" of his own life, even though that may not take him in the short term in the direction he thinks he is going in. As long as he's not doing anything self-destructive (drugs or flunking out or hanging out with the wrong crowd), he may just have to learn some lessons himself by making his own mistakes, i.e., not getting into Columbia or Duke or UVA and settling for community college and transferring or a gap year and reapplying. Sometimes there are lessons only life can teach you.[/quote]
