<p>Lessons learned for sure. Regret is not a comfortable arm chair for my Monday morning quarterbacking session on my parenting decisions. My husband and I sat up last night talking about what we ‘should’ have done in freshman year with my [incredibly bright] son with special needs and how letting the system coerce us into doing it their way has really impaired his college chances, to what they could have been. Getting slammed financially only adds salt to the wounds. Thanks for listening. If nothing else, I think I can be a good resource to younger parents who are going through the system now. Don’t want to derail the thread, so I’ll stop there! Thanks again.</p>
