<p>Not the case here. The kid said he was trying, and just ended up being overwhelmed. See his thread [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1432632-flunked-my-first-semester-college.html?highlight=marquette]here[/url”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1432632-flunked-my-first-semester-college.html?highlight=marquette]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>I am really saddened by the mom’s posts. I understand that this is extraordinarily difficult for her (and the rest of the family) as well . . . but this doesn’t sound like a terribly supportive situation for her son to come home to. I am wondering if there isn’t a relative or family friend that he might be able to stay with . . . someone who wouldn’t feel “annoyed” by his presence. </p>
<p>I’m not trying to blame the OP . . . but sometimes a parent just reaches their wit’s end and it’s hard to come up with an endless supply of patience, especially when there are younger siblings you need you as well. If there were somewhere else the student could stay for a while, that might help everyone.</p>
