If you have fucked up, it's in the past, and if you had the power to fuck things up for yourself, you also have the power to make things right for yourself again. (For yourself, not for your mom or dad or whoever else.)<BR/><BR/>Though actually, I suspect you haven't really fucked up. Life is about trial and error, and you're young (or at least you look it from your pic). Going back to education sounds like it's a great idea if that's what you really want to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21458874.post-77992742787898575322007-09-17T01:24:00.000-05:002007-09-17T01:24:00.000-05:00I feel for ya, guy...From your description of the ...I feel for ya, guy...<BR/><BR/>From your description of the discussion, it seems to me that your mother is at least somewhat reluctant to see you to succeed except on her terms. I could be projecting, but I regularly see PFOX parents saying some of the same things as your mom - tearing down their adult kids' every decision, and putting the worst possible spin on whatever their kids tell them about their lives.<BR/><BR/>To be fair to her, I'm not sure what diagnoses your mom is making, or whether they're sensible, or whether you've discussed them with your doctor.<BR/><BR/>Your course of action seems completely sensible to me -- getting on your feet, becoming mobile, then resuming school when you're ready and able to learn. <BR/><BR/>I suppose you/I/we could dissect each of your parents' points, one by one, to see whether there's any underlying merit, but I'm not sure that's what you want or need at this point. <BR/><BR/>Hugs...Mike Airharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285465089325714326noreply@blogger.com
