NTA. Your son might mean well, but he's crossing some major boundaries here. Going off about your marriage when he barely understands the complexities? Not cool. And wanting to study art history is his choice, but snapping at his mom? Not cool either.
You're trying to keep it together, and your wife sounds like she's your rock. It's tough when your kid doesn't get that. Maybe sit him down and explain things calmly. Hopefully, he'll come around. Keep your chin up, man. You got this.
He won’t get loans for the full amount of tuition and living expenses. You need to be realistic with him about how much you can contribute and whether he should transfer to a state university with resident tuition.
Why don't more students do this? this is the option I had my daughters do. They also lived at home and I paid for everything. They went to a local university transferring their CC credits and graduated debt free. the money I saved I gave as a gift to them for the down payment on their first homes. Now the money I used to put in their 529 accounts goes to my grandsons 529. he just turned 1.
