[quote=Anonymous]It's so important for parents to recognize their young adult kids' agency. That sets the tone for the new phase in your relationship -- one that will (hopefully) last well beyond the years you've spent parenting up till now. If your DH is using money to try to squash your son's autonomy and self-confidence, that doesn't establish a great foundation for moving forward. Instead, recognize your son's feelings, encourage him to pursue the transfer as a possible solution, and -- at the same time -- encourage him to make the best of his current situation at Emory. When the admissions decision comes in, you can talk about his choice -- but it is his choice, not your husband's. If your son is accepted at Tufts and wants to transfer, your husband would be smart and loving to back him in this decision and wish him all the best. [/quote]
