Well it sure would help to know.
There are tons of people I dislike but they are a good person, they just rub me the wrong way.
That could be the case.

Help? Help in what way? She wasn't asking our opinion of the guy. She is just sharing the devastation a parent feels when a child who has a lot going for them makes what could be a life altering decision. She has decided that her financial support ended when she dropped out of school. That is reasonable for a parent to do for an adult child.
There really is no problem to "solve". She is making a poor choice. I am not going to support it. Adult children make their own lives. As for the tuition, books, right now she has a full scholarship she is blowing, by being with this guy all the time. Calling him, and if she drops out, she would have to re apply. And yes, out of state tuition.
Sorry, he has no job, did not go to college, lives with his parents, who are also very poor. I don't call that a good choice.there are other issues, sorry, but I would pretty much sum up his family as major trailer trash. With EBT cards, and Medicaid. That is quite different from how she was brought up. Call me a snob...but it is an issue to me.
Yes, they are fine with her moving in...and her car, did I forget to mention this family has no car, that runs? She thinks we are just going to keep giving he the same money...and her debit card, and her cell phone. Right.
So...it is "come to jesus" meeting in a few weeks. We are waiting until after the holidays to discuss this...why ruin the holidays with this drama?
Jasper- That is a tough thing to do. I think you are doing the right thing. Kids (even adult kids) always need to learn there are consequences to their actions.
I know that you will have the support here from several posters. Their support has helped me through a lot of things and I hope our support can help you too.

Unbelievable.
Sorry you're going through this Jasper. I can't imagine the disappointment you must be feeling.
Thanks. Lord, do I wish she was two, and pouting...LOL.
No doubt we will be villianized as the "meanest" parents in the world, out to ruin her life, and break up the greatest romance since "Romeo and Juliet".
Whatever. And no, we won't let her BF move into her apartment and keep paying her rent either. Boy, are we mean or what?
See that's all I needed to know his family sounds douchy.
I don't doubt he is a really sweet guy and treats her properly but sounds like he needs to get his life together.
Right. I have no issues with a boyfriend. I have problems with a boyfriend with no job, not going to school. I also think she is too young to get serious. This is her first boyfriend. True love, and all that.
