[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you, OP. I would be at my wit's end. You're right about the odds not being in your DS's favor. But your control over him is limited. Let him know that graduating high school is a must and that if music is his desired path and passion and he wants to forego college, then he needs to do so on his own and prepare to independent versus how you might have supported him if he was studying. Because he can be a working musician and make his way at 18 if he's not in college, and really, having to sustain himself might give him the hunger and motivation he'll need to make it as a long shot. You coddling him and paying for his housing and comfort as a young adult is a recipe for him to be a failed musician. The musicians that do make it do so against all odds and with their back against the wall and because they have something to lose if they don't make it. He needs to realize that arduous path is what he's signing up for.[/quote]
