I think you are right. I really can't tell him what to do. I guess my biggest fear is that he is going to break up with her and be stuck with a train wreckage. It is like watching a train wreck waiting to happen. I really don't think this is going to last four years. I just hate for him to graduate with student loans. I'm sure we will figure it out. I think it just helped me to hear that others go through the same thing. Working at home as we do, I feel isolated. I have my husband to talk to but we have differing opinions on this. He feels like my son should stay at that school no matter what. If he is miserable that is his problem. I do agree in some sense as in I think my son is determined to be miserable. He has a way of making me feel guilty about everything. He told me he took the scholarship because that was the school I wanted him to go to. Did I think that was the right choice at the time? Yes. Did I twist his arm, make him buy a car, and force him to sign scholarship papers? No. He saw a car, wanted a car, didnt' have this girlfriend and decided to take the scholarship.
Thanks to everyone for their opinions!
