[quote=Anonymous]Hugs. I would suggest that to the extent possible, you try to focus on managing your emotions about the uncertainty of the future and recognize that this may or may not indicate anything about his future. I have recently been working a lot on my own acceptance of uncertainty, and it is HARD but helpful.

Then I would suggest just focusing on the present moment and based on that, figuring out one or two goals that would make things better right now (ignoring future impacts for the most part). What are the 1-2 things he most needs to work on and skills he needs for right now? Can you figure out a way to let some things go that aren't important and instead prioritize a few things that are? Maybe you can step back from pushing on homework every night but need to make sure he turns in at least 70% of assignments or something. I don't know what the answer there is, but I think there might be an in-between that would prioritize your and his present moment and help you both feel successful with what you can right now - ignoring whether or not that means he will be in trade school or college or have a job in two years.[/quote]
