[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he sounds like a great kid, and you sound like you need some therapy around your own depression and expectations.  I say that with all the love in the world.  You’re thinking such critical, mean thoughts about him, and probably about yourself.  You both deserve support![/quote]

Great? How does such a teen ever earn a living? My cousin was like this in his teens — he’s now an affable 37 year old... college dropout who has never had a real job and lives off his parents.[/quote]

I know a ton of kids like this... so what do they do now 30 years later...
