[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 710982, member: 16761"] I know how you feel RN! When my son dropped out of college in October, I called because it didn't look like he was going to officially withdraw and I didn't want his GPA to suffer. They basically told me in the same 'kinda nice' way to butt out, that he had to come up there in person with ID, etc etc etc. That's when I realized on a deeper level what detachment really is. I don't get to fix anything, or feel good about fixing it in the process. BUT we also don't have to feel the anxiety that we feel that leads us to try to fix. That's the hard part I think, is resisting the urge to fix it and dealing with the anxiety that that causes. [/QUOTE]
