[quote=Anonymous]I recommend a parent coach. You do need to let him try to cope on his own, and parent coaching will help this. I have a 17 year old DD who is different, but my (now 22 year old) nephew was like this. He did go to college for engineering. He did better than expected but has now taken a year off because it got too hard. But he’s working, living independently, and even got married (that’s a long story). But , yes, he is less angry and does acknowledge his parents and all they did for him. It was a long road though, particularly for my sister and she should have gotten parent coaching earlier (by her admission) because her attempts to help were enabling his behavior. I did the same thing but my DD is very different (angry, but not at all insistent she can cope on her own, exactly the opposite). I too had to learn to let go.[/quote]
