[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would find a way to make it work so that you can attend. Even if you will be with him for a total of a hour, I think it will be worth it to be there.

Bring your mom along! I am sure that will be a special memory all on its own. If the AM is a drop off and it too much to get everyone out the door, maybe find an AirBNB or VRBO and leave your mom for a short time, drop him off and then attend what you can. Or have your mom come with for the whole day. I am sure there are accommodations they can/will make for her and I'm sure it would not be the first time a grandparent has attended. She might even find another grandparent to hang with?

Yes, your 18 year old is fine on his own as other posters have said, but I think the idea of knowing you are there (even if you aren't able to attend fully) is valuable, both in the moment and down the road. Will he have someone to sit with at lunch? Attend sessions with, etc etc. I would try to make the event as un-awkward as possible for him. [/quote]
