hmm, difficult situation miss. Well As a fellow 19 year old, i would want my mother to have a good long talk with me and tell me what kind of truoble i am getting into. It would be much better if you would talk to your son and just tell him what you want. Demand it and if he's not doing anything to change it. Then you should tell him that if he's way to deep, he has to get out on his own cuase you warned him and told him. It would be on his shoulders.

he will get over her eventually. it seems like one of those things girls go through in highschool... not to sound mean but he just hasnt reached the point yet when that is important and he still is in lust with girls. if i were you i would threaten him.. not to hurt him but make him move out (if he lives at home) and not to help him out or anything until he gets over himself and gets his life ontrack

Unfortunately those who quit don't usually go back. Especially if they don't have a career goal they are really driven to do.

I would suggest if he doesn't want to go to school at this time, not to allow him to sit and live off your dime. Tell him if he isn't going to school he needs a full time job.

It will help him be responsible for himself, as well as keep him from spending 24 hrs a day dwelling on a girl he probably isn't going to get.

A lot of kids a lot younger than him go through their parents divorcing. Don't allow feelings of guilt over that allow you to coddle him. He is 19 and needs to become responsible. I have known people who have let that happen. Believe me it is a lot harder down the road if you let him wait until he's "ready". :)
