[quote=Anonymous]Is she really only one semester short of a degree? If so, assuming there's one parent who is staying at home, I would look for a sublet in her college town for winter term and move back with her to knock that semester out. As a mom, I would do it. If you're working maybe you could get FMLA leave or work remotely? She needs a stabilizing force in her life. Addiction is hard to fight. But to abandon a 7/8ths complete degree is a big problem. She probably won't be ready to go back for a longer time period if she waits until she is ready to go by herself. If it's a big city school, nobody will even know if mom is sharing an apartment. She might feel better about herself if she can complete the degree. I'm sure this might seem weird or helicoptery but I've seen that kids that give up tend not to go back/complete school. That has long-term life implications.[/quote]
