[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen, I have a kid with similar situation.  I’m so incredibly proud of him though by my friends’ standards he’s a failure.  My kid has overcome /dealt with:

Major depression suicidal ideation 
Adhd 
Learning differences
Life changing chronic disease 
Traumatic accident ruining his athletic prospects and mentally and physically very challenging 
Substance use challenges 
Anxiety and PTSD 
Covid related issues

He’s surviving, he’s learning, he’s growing.  He somehow maintained a 3.3 at a tough private school.   There was a time I felt sad that this was his path, but now I realize he’s a rock star and his whole life is before him and where he attends college is just one small piece of his future.  Perspective.  BTW he’s going to a mid size state school that he’s very excited about. [/quote]

Op here. Your kid IS a rockstar. I hope he is proud of what he has accomplished and where he’s headed. I am grateful that my son is completely uninterested in rankings and opinions on wherever he ends up. He just wants to go somewhere he’ll be happy for 4 years. I hope my son can find his place like yours did. [/quote]
