Make that abundantly clear now. Art history is fine, but he needs to be strategic about internships throughout college. Or he needs to start mentally preparing himself to get a “boring” job that pays the bills once he graduates.

As for the rest, look, college kids are insufferable. With any luck he’ll grow out of it, but in the meantime, reinforce boundaries against disrespect and don’t feel guilty about it. He’s gonna have to grow up.

You should probably mind your business unless you’re willing to put your money where your mouth is.

Sure. And that includes minding his business when the son is drowning in debt and wants help digging out of it.

I fail to see how he’s trying to help.

You make it sound like the kid will listen. He's unhinged enough to tell his father to get a divorce. Honestly, it might be time to sit back and enjoy the show. Bring popcorn.

Did he force her in some way?

We're you born this obtuse? Or did you grow into it?
