Really need some help here.  Just bought the book and am reading it, but have a crisis.

My son is in his second year, suddenly hates it, and is miserable.  Last weekend he drank on campus, decided to show others how fast his car went, and totaled the car.  He and the passenger are ok, thank goodness, but he spent the night in the county jail.  This is a wonderful boy who has never been in trouble and gets great grades.  When I ask him what he plans to do after we get through sanctions by the school, court, insurance issues, he says he doesn't know.  I'm 6 hours away from him, single mom, just panic stricken.  Anybody else out there has dealt with this?  Have called school rep for advice, have atty lined up, have counseling set up for Xmas break.  What else to do?  Losing my mind!  This affects his future, career, etc.

Any comments would be appreciated!
