[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - if DC is only two hours away, I'd just drive down and spend a day with him. NO counseling yet. Just take him out to lunch, coffee and talk. Sometimes, you just need to calibrate their perspectives... Don't try to over fix it. [/quote]

Going there is "overfishing". No wonder kids have trouble adjusting to college these days, never allowed to have a bad day without mom or dad jumping it to "calibrate."  Getting through some difficulties by oneself is how kids grow up, even if it is hard to see.[/quote]

OP's kid is not having a bad day. He is having a serious of bad days. My sense is that if child's struggle is not getting any better, it's time to help him. You need to know when to jump in and help. there's a fine line between letting kids grow up and neglecting your parental duty. [/quote]

Your poor kids.  [b]College kids are adult.  Time to let go.[/b][/quote]

18 and my job is done!!  Is that what you are saying? [/quote]
