[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did a kid with anxiety and depression go to a “grinder school?.”

Then stop medication that was working, and for some reason , counseling us “off the table.”

I feel very sorry for him.

Sounds like everyone’s priorités are mixed up. [/quote]

Op here, guess you missed the updates. Dc chose this school. I had almost zero to do with it. Dc is very bright, the work is not an issue, he has a strong GPA. He chose to go off meds, not me. And just realistically it will be hard to find a good therapist right now, but dc knows he’s welcome to see someone if he likes.

Re $. A big issue and it sucks, but it’s on his dad. In fact I warned dc repeatedly before he accepted that his dad wasn’t reliable with money and to think deeply about going to this school, but he insisted. At some point, dc is an adult and needs to make his own decisions. To that end, I’m not forcing him to stay and I’m going to try to help him with tuition but I won’t be able to pay for 100 percent and you know what, I don’t think that’s so terrible. [/quote]

Why did you agree to this?  You are blaming dad but YOU are the problem.  Dad did not committ to helping but you decided dad will pay and messed this us.  You send your kid to a school you/they can afford.  You get a second job, have him finish out the semester, apply out and transfer.  Listem to him.[/quote]
