[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would either a) pay for the rest of his college, negating his need for loans with his dad or b) enroll him in the local college and let him live at home

These two things appear to be the largest sources of tension / anxiety

As well as solving these immediate problems, I would probably get him a therapist who can prescribe SSRI's and explain their safety and benefits.[/quote]

+1, but especially the money. If you can afford to pay, either pay now or commit to your kid that you will pay down the loans on a schedule after graduation (if you commit you must actually do it, set aside money now and tell him you are). Meanwhile, take the dad to court and also work with the school to see what can be done when dad is absentee. If you're not willing to do that, I don't know that you have a say in whether he drops out.

Being concerned about loans is reasonable, especially because it sounds like he may not enjoy his major and is looking at years of misery to try to pay them off. [/quote]
