First I want you to know that when I read your post my heart sank for you. Not for the money that is wasted or that he just dropped out of college, but because your son just took off on a train out West with no plan. I have 2 college kids that are away and I would hope if one of them decided that college was “not their thing” that we would discuss as a family and withdraw responsibility. I hope you get in touch with your son and he is safe and sound out West. Please let us know how he is doing!
