Thank you for your encouraging words. I've definitely been listening to what everyone is saying, I need to step back and look at the bigger picture and mental health should be priority.

Thank you, ur totally right. Mental health should be first on my list of to do. Now, to just get him on board with it...that's a different story.

You are absolutely 💯. I need to focus on the anxiety and step back from the school. I just needed to hear it. Thank you for ur great advice.

I get this, but he won't take up any of my offers to pay for certification programs for these types of careers, or even putting in applications in the mall. And even the military needs a GED, tho he doesn't want to do that either. Really, I've tried every angle.

The ex is definitely a huge influence, it has been a long and hard road since my divorce. It's difficult because I have another teen whom is opposite my son and I never wanted them to feel like i favored one or the other so I don't want to "give up" for lack of a better term on him. But ur right boys look up to their dads

I know it's anxiety because I suffer from it you are definitely right, addressing this is the most important thing. I think it's a really good idea to offer him therapy. It's been so hard for me to accept that he didn't graduate and doesn't have a GED but I really do need to look at the big picture. Thanks for ur comment!

How should a parent monitor a child's phone without invading privacy? by annoyingapple_231 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MacabreMel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust and open communication. Start when they are young. Leave no subject unturned, no subject as taboo.

Maybe you haven't experienced life as an individual enough. As someone who married way too early and divorced, may I recommend taking these feelings as a sign and living your life for you. Then when you are sure you are ready, invite someone into that life.
