[quote=Anonymous]I was like your child my first year of college. I didn’t have a car, but took the bus/got rides home several times the first semester. My mom also came and got me at least twice (although one was because I was sick). It wasn’t for lack of support— I was making friends in my dorm and had several friends from high school who were there on campus with me. I tried counseling, but was not very open to it and stopped going after a few sessions. My parents listened empathetically, didn’t force me to stay at school, always answered my phone calls. My mom even humored me when I wanted to tour another (smaller, less selective, slightly closer to home) college as a potential transfer. I’m sure it wasn’t easy on them! But by end of spring semester, I stopped feeling so homesick and out of place. Very grateful for how my parents let me work that out, while not shutting me out. [/quote]
