[quote=Anonymous]OP, this was me - exactly - back in the day. And my college was only an HOUR away from home! I was just such so close to my mom and didn't want to go away. I also had some issues with anxiety, though not severe. I always had a nice friend group, social life, etc. But the thought of starting an entirely new life away from my beloved mom was so scary to me. She handled it by using reverse psychology. So smart. She'd say, "You know, you probably would do just great living at home and attending community college. Maybe we should explore that as an option?" Of course, my immediate reaction was shock and dismay, as all of my friends were going away to college. Me, live at home?!? What?? She just kept gently suggesting that whenever I would express trepidation at leaving. Naturally, I had the best four years once I actually moved into the dorm and got a taste of independence. Your son will be fine. [/quote]
