[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP, and that "dart" referenced by a PP wasn't mine. I truly wish there were a dedicated place for all of this wisdom to land. I can't even begin to describe the angst and anxiety trying to navigate this age. I have one kid who will follow the typical high school-to-college path, but my other kid is not there, and from what I hear anecdotally from other parents who are brave enough to share their experiences, my kid is not the only one struggling.

As DCUM currently stands, posts about parenting young adults are everywhere: midlife concerns (since we're 50-ish while parenting young adults), college (since our kids are bouncing around, but everyone else is asking whether to retake the SAT), tweens and teens (our kids have late teen problems, but this forum also includes younger parents asking about playdates for 7th graders), family relationships (which is the catchall for anything from issues with sisters-in-law to elderly aunts), money and finances (everything from retirement questions to polls about savings and HHI, whereas I would really like more advice on how to handle quasi-supporting my 19 YO) and probably more. I desperately wish I could easily find the support of other parents of young adults, so if the topic were centralized this would be so much easier.

I completely understand the reluctance to make this change, but please give it consideration! I am grateful.[/quote]
