So, my husband and I met with the psychologist who strongly suggested that we not send our daughter back next semester. The term “failure to launch” was used, which I think is a fancy way of saying she’s immature. Anyway, my daughter seems almost ok with taking a semester off (I think she can be talked into it), but my husband wants her to take a year off. The psychologist suggested two (!) years which is overkill to me and would probably result in my daughter not being able to return to the college she worked so hard to attend.
Also, my husband seems convinced that she will have no problem returning after taking a mental health leave, but I’m not sure that’s the case. He is going to talk to the Dean, but I really think we should get any information in writing. Thoughts?
