<p>Mitdu, it’s time for some tough love. Let your son take time off. Let him prove, at community college or wherever, that he can succeed in college. Or let him stay in college, but he pays. </p>
<p>I understand about learning disabilities; my son has them too. But your son needs to figure out how to succeed in school before wasting any more of your money. He needs to learn to advocate for himself, and he needs to get treatment for his depression if that’s a problem. He also may need to figure out some different learning strategies. Most colleges have tutoring available-- that could help.</p>
<p>He won’t do anyone any good if he just goes back to his college in the fall and changes nothing. Have you thought of summer courses? If he could prove himself in the summer, then he might be ready to go to school in the fall.</p>
