@greenpea thanks for the support.  I think I'd feel a bit more confident if our boy had some skills in place, such as understanding his financial responsibilities.  Then I think aobut myself and what I was like when I had to relocate to the city at 17 1/2 to study - I was hopeless with money but soon learnt the hard way.  Maybe he will be the same.  My main concern is that he maintains his medication/keeps up his medical appointments as I support him with organising them at the moment.  

I am part way through a Master of Social Work.  I started it in 2018 - took 2019 off for my own surgery then ended up looking after my husband when he had a sudden brain hemmorhage that year.  He miraculously survived and recovered.  I moved to a different Uni in 2020 to continue study, then took leave when I started working full time last July.  So I think I'll either scale back or quit my job early next year to try knock over the degree in 2 years.  Studying one subject a semester will take me 8 years an I just don't have the time to wait to get it finished.  I want to start using the qualification asap.  

I hope you are feeling a bit better today @greenpea , it sounds like you didn't get much sleep, and you're really concerned about how today is going to go.  Thinking of you and your S2.
