[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks all.  I think it's going to take this kids years to mature and figure it out.
Yes, she's on meds and has been in therapy for years already.
Yep, we're not eager to send her back to college to fail again (due to lack of skills and maturity).  She'll likely get a full-time job and maybe CC at some point.
[b]I'm not eager to keep wasting money on tuition.[/b]

You give me hope that maturity may come later on a longer path[/quote]

My brother failed out - partying too much and not going to class.  After working for a couple of years at minimum wage jobs, he decided he wanted to return to school.  My dad agreed to pay for it BUT he had to live at home.   My dad could make sure he was going to class, not partying, etc.  He ended up enrolling in a local state college.  I think he was about 26 when he graduated and immediately began a successful career.  [/quote]

+1 My husband dropped out a few times before finally graduating from college. He's still young, top of his field, and fulfilled. I'm sure there were some dark moments in his early years though. [/quote]
