I have a similar situation with a DC who had serious mental health issues in high school. We also dropped school to concentrate on achieving mental health. DC got a GED and started CC with just a small number of credits first semester. With good grades and effort, we allowed more credits in the next semester until we got to FT. The hardest thing was that DCs social group moved on to traditional college and there has not been much of a social connection in CC. But the flexibility and not super intensive academics has been the right fit.[/quote]

Previous PP.  My DD has found a volunteer organization she is quite passionate about and which is very active.  The socialization she gets from that is helping to make up for what she is not getting at CC.  She has just had to get over her HS peers being close to finishing college.  At this point she feels comfortable with them because she feels a lot of pride in what she has been able to achieve since coming back.[/quote]
