[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 755066, member: 18958"] Hi 200meters. This restaurant sounds delicious! So glad you're back. You did every single thing you could and then some to insure that youngest had the best possible shot. And not only did he blow it. He set out to torpedo it, and with it, destroying any other reasonable alternative option for himself. I agree with you. Right now in his life he sounds entitled, ungrateful, manipulative and hard-headed. He's insuring he will learn only through suffering. I hope that you and your wife don't make this any easier for him. He is demonstrating that he needs life to be hard on him for now, in order to catch a clue. I am sorry. I know how hard this is. While I agree that long delays are incompatible with justice, it's not the Israeli system that has any responsibility here for his difficult time; it's him. Better that his situation is slow going, in my opinion. More time for him to learn. Would he have done one thing to help himself, I would have empathy. I don't. He is hurting his parents who have sacrificed greatly, worried no end, who love him with all their heart. I don't feel one bit bad for your son. He has to learn. How great for him that he has this interest and talent. This will be something to build upon when he settles down. It's interesting (and kind of wonderful) that he likes this meditative, nourishing pursuit, in light of the ADHD diagnosis. Last year I took a permaculture design course (online) which I loved very much through Oregon State University Extension. People from all over the world took the course and they lumped us together in sections based upon our geographical locale. Maybe he could do something like this. (There are other interesting extension courses too in horticulture in this program.) I don't mean to be mean to your son (well, kind of I do). I do believe he will straighten up. It seems like immaturity and that he's headstrong. But the sooner he is reined in by life the better for him and everybody else, in my mind. I am glad you are back. How is your wife holding up? I'm sorry this is so, so hard. [/QUOTE]
