I'm so sorry. I am 28 now and had an experience similar to your son.
I didn't drop out of college; however I only stayed in because of
family and peer pressure to "have a college degree." I felt college
was a complete waste of time. I felt disconnected from my fellow
students. I was going somewhere with my life and everyone else was
going to be stuck with a dead-end job. I pitied them and avoided the
parties and read my Quixtar-recommended books instead. At the business
meetings your son is told that his professors are well-intentioned
buffoons, that nothing he studies is applicable to the real world and
that college is a huge waste of time. He will asked if his professors
all drive sports cars and live in mansions. When he replies that not
all of his professors do these things, your son's upline will ask him
why he is wasting his time learning from such unsuccessful people.
I would encourage you to have your son do his own independent research
on Quixtar. If he is going to business meetings ("functions"
will be somewhat indoctrinated into the system and so it will be best
for him to take baby steps. If you can get him to skip a couple
of "functions" and then suggest that he do research it will help. I
believe that if I had not started skipping any functions I may have
never seen the light.
The best advice I can give is for you to show him that you love and
support him no matter what his decisions are. When he does come to
realize the lies he has been told and the untold negative effect the
business has had on his life, he is likely to feel betrayed,
incompetent and wiill feel as if he cannot make even simple decisions
on his own. I have been out of Quixtar for two years and am just now
starting to feel as if I once again have full control of my own life.
Good luck! Hang in there. You are not the first people in this
position and there is hope.
