[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP, I feel for you SO much.  My DH is similarly passive and conflict avoidant when talking with his daughter.  She was a terrible HS student and he and his ex did not save for her education.  And as a stepmom you DO have a say - it's your household budget.  I was actually willing to take a huge chunk of our current joint income to pay for an expensive public junior college in VA, but DSD decided on community college[b] because her best friend wanted to get an apartment with her.  (then she promptly dropped out.  We since paid for two additional semesters that she ended up bombing, too.)

It's really cruel what your DH is doing By not leveling with his son.  But I hope he's not similarly avoiding conflict with you and planning to take out huge private loans in order to avoid disappointing his son.  Guilt is a powerful thing.  Hope you'll update us about what happens.[/quote]

I've never heard of junior college before: how does that differ from community college?[/quote]
