[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s asking to take a break not to quit. Who knows where it will lead. I think your husband is so sane here. Hes taking a year off. No one has a crystal ball.

What I’d do if your husband agrees is to develop a savings plan with your son. He sounds like he’s a really responsible young adult. But don’t blow up your relationship over this. [/quote]

This 100%. [/quote]

+1 I just posted about trying to connect and I agree with this. Work with him to develop a savings plan together. And make a plan for next year - something like we support you in taking a break, we’ll support you financially this year while you work, save, travel, and do what you need to do to feel ready (and try to dig into what that is).then I would try to make a plan without it sounding like a threat because it isn’t but just an understanding that if he doesn’t return to school then that indicates he’s wanting to be independent as an adult so that would mean getting and funding his own apartment, car, etc. And then you stick to it.
