<p>I agree that dependency override would be the best if you can. I was only pointing out what someone did back in the 80’s and it worked very well. It saddens me to think if he had not done that what his life may have become(or not). </p>
<p>FYI he did cut ties with his family as they were selfish and greedy parents who truly did not give a darn about his future. He felt they did not care about him in a meaningful way and hence basically flew the coop for good.</p>
<p>These are very difficult scenarios and my son currently knows a girl whose parents don’t want to pay much at all for college and she may be in the same situation. So sad that some parents don’t fell a stronger moral obligation to help pay.</p>
