[QUOTE="It'sbeentoolong, post: 719381, member: 22245"] I agree that college and having a certain job is not the most important thing in life. When my kids were young I valued that so much and life taught me that being the brightest child was of no significance. What made it difficult for me to see my son not going to a university is that he really wanted to. He started becoming mentally ill at 17 1/2 and he started drinking as a way of self-medicating. Through sheer determination, he made it through 2 years and actually was on the honor roll. He was hospitalized the first time about that time and never ended up going back. My son has very low self-esteem now and the one thing he can remotely hang on to is that once upon a time he was gifted. [/QUOTE]
