<p>Good for you, Liberti…your parents should be very proud of you and themselves. Its so tempting to try to manage everything, but at some point we parents need to let go. What we’re seeing here where we live is that the kids leave college after a year. They aren’t capable of coping on their own. They move in with their parents and go to CC or the local State which is nearby. I cross my fingers that that doesn’t happen in our family. I’d feel as if I’d screwed up. My daughter has a friend whose parents have told her that they’ll move wherever she’s in college to be close by. I can’t fathom it. The message the kid will get is, “you can’t do it on your own. You need us. You don’t have what it takes.”</p>
