[quote=Anonymous]I understand how much you love your son and how big a desire you have to see him succeed.  You have a mother's heart. You want to support him in any way you can. I think many of us can relate to your instincts and dreams for him. But our hopes and dreams for our kids always need to be tempered with our reality.  It is not your job to pay for your child's education at your own expense. When your son is done with school, he will need to find his way. You have worked and you have sacrificed. You have found your way. You need to secure a future for yourself, especially since you are on your own. Only you will provide for YOU. It may not be our desire, but your son can take loans if needed. He can talk about his education with his dad and see what his dad is willing to negotiate with him, but that should be his discussion with his father. If your son is serious about pursuing medical school, he will do what it takes to make that happen. It is his dream, not yours so he needs to be invested and be willing to make the needed sacrifices to see it through. You do the best you can, you give what you can but you must make sure that you can live without angst in the years ahead. I hope this helps. Do not take on what is not yours to take. We are called to love our children; we are called to love our adult children too, but we are not called to finance all their dreams.  I wish you peace and resolve.[/quote]
