You did nothing wrong especially to your children. Lots of kids made it through college without mom and dad's help. In today's world I would look at a couple of things in terms of college.

The financial situation is not terrible but there simply is not enough life insurance to cover everything plus it is unlikely the son will be able to borrow enough to keep everything. The son expresses it as wanting to not work as hard but those close to the family know different and that the son is having trouble coming to grips with what the future holds.
