[quote=Anonymous]Sounds extremely similar to my situation. Though I didn’t “flunk out” just tanked and then dropped out after that one semester (think straight As, and then 3 Fs and a D) and financial problems. I did not waive FERPA so as much as my parents tried to get in to manage I wouldn’t let them. I was focused on my independence. What helped: I got a job, used that as a way to structure my life. My long term relationship helped with financial independence since I paid less in rent. But the job was what turned it around. It wasn’t high level (temping first, then entry level) and eventually I went back to school when I was ready (late 20s) and finished. I needed more structure to my life. I now have a professional degree and make $300k+ as a senior executive. Don’t write her off. [/quote]
