[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 631520, member: 17720"] Well my take for what it's worth is that he is in panic mode. Either this is fear (of failing, of looking foolish, of losing his freedom and having to join the rest of the schmucks who have to work for a living when he thought he was unique) or he is acting like a spoiled little *%&+. But either way he has to get a job... The therapy might be an idea. But I wouldn't let it be used to avoid getting a job. My son used that one, manufacturing uncontrollable hand shaking that only affected him when he had to deal with other human beings. It bought him a few weeks. I would just keep reiterating, you are either in school or you are working. That is just the way the world works. And you don't get $ until you get a job. That is the way the world works. Also, he took a long time to compose that email -- time that could have been used to fill out more job applications. I know I'm a cynic, but I am not sure he wants you to understand him so much as he wants you to go along with what he wants. [/QUOTE]
