| Northstarmom, I can sympathize. I have 2 of them. Both id'd gifted and in those programs while in school but flunked out of colleges. Working at lower level jobs, maintenance and retail. Only their passions are the computer games.
Now, after a couple of years, both are starting to look at going back and finishing. DH says in his day, the military took care of the growing up time and going back to school after serving made all the difference. After he flunked out he was drafted. I guess this is just another path to the maturing process.
They are sandwiched between successful S1 and DD. So maybe other factors in there, too. |
