Just wanted to let all of you know that I had my DS read all of your responses. He also met with counseling services on Thursday and was still 100% certain, he wanted to come home. DH picked him up and brought him home, the 1st words out of his mouth were, "I'm so happy to be home." That evening he went for wings with a friend, who is a high school senior, and they talked about things, bear in mind, he discussed this with anyone he could think of. Anyway, when he got home, he said he was confused and still didn't know what to do. I told him the decision was his, and only his, to make. He didn't have any class on Friday so if he did want to go back he could, he hadn't notified the school yet of his decision. On Friday, I got home from work and he said that he was 100% certain staying at school was the way to go. He then received an email fropm a professor who was wondering if he was okay. He emailed back and told her how he was struggling, with being away and with the schoolwork. She thanked him for his honesty and promised to help him any way she could. We were both very impressed! So, I'm happy to report that he will be back on campus by Monday. I can't thank all of you enough for all of your responses, they were certainly very helpful. One thing I didn't mention is that his 1st night at school, he had his IPhone stolen out of his hand from behind while he was using it. I can't believe the 360 degree change in his mindset, but, I am very happy with his decision to go back. By the way, the college he attends is Temple University.
