    Supporting a child in college - WWYD or WHYD

    Same thing here. I won't go into all of the details, but school didn't work out for my brother. When he attempted the reunite with the birth family, it went really badly. Things were starting to look up in the getting a relationship back with us. He had started reaching out. But then he was killed in a car accident at a very young age. His birth family caused all kinds of trouble even during the funeral and such from another state. They obviously felt connected to him, and he to them, but it wasn't a healthy kind of relationship. I really believed it was good that he saw that and what kind of people they were. I thought that he was going to be alright in the long run and make amends with us in some form. He had been raised differently, and I thought I knew after seeing both worlds which he would choose. Who knows? I never saw it come to fruition.

     

    I at times thought I would have handled things differently with him than my mom did, but what did I know without being in her shoes?

     

    I do know in your situation, I would feel some obligation to be supporting financially a 17 year old that was not emancipated. But what that looks like??? Impossible to say from the outside.

    Any news?......Are you making any progress with your son?

    Explicit Music/TV and or content allows somone to' options. Most of the time "BAD" Kids are being brainwashed to do things that don't help their immediate situation. Has anyone seen the movie gifted hands?

    Ben Carson?

    Yeah it's a succes story. A story in which somone rising up from poverty becasue of a strong parent changing the environment. Making her kids turn the Tv off and reading...Putting in positive ideas untill her kids started to believe. From being impoverished they freed their minds and the rest followed.

    Excellent points, just chimming in. I've been married going on 18 plus years with eight children by the same lady.... (what a blessing).. The environment that children grow up in is what matters the most. Rich or Poor the same issues exist. Drugs, women, and a host of other things. I believe in surrounding a child with as much help as needed for them to succede in life. We've our own property with chickens and home school our children. Life is short the best chance we have is to invest in our children's future.... (just my two cent)

    Nice chat!

    Understanding children is very difficult. As you all know I've a few in their teens and one headed to Colledge next year. I'd use the suggestion of one of the commentators earlier who said to work with the therapist. Sitting down together and working on a criterion for him is the best. Sometimes love is misunderstood.

    May God Help You To Stay Focused For The Years Ahead!
