[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 637449, member: 14557"] Hah, difficult child really isn't the easiest person to live with so volunteers are not likely going to line up. But you are right, I do worry about how he will do when he goes back and when no one is looking for warning signs of him sliding back mental health wise. Problem is that difficult child doesn't trust easily, nor is he stupid enough to show his underbelly in that competitive environment when any sign of weakness tends to cause you lose what you are working for. His positional coaches see him a lot, talk with him a lot, are interested about how he is feeling and so on, but they are also the persons he has to convince that he is doing great to get what he wants. His girlfriend is of course someone close to him, but it is a long distance relationship, and will get longer distance after Christmas when girlfriend is heading abroad for a semester. And of course they are also quite new together, have known each other less than a year, that difficult child doesn't want to show his weaker side to her so much. And for their relationship that can even be a good thing. I can't even decide if I hope he would retire sports or not. That competitiveness really hurts, so does the stress. On the other hand sports are what keep him trying. Of course it doesn't matter what I wish for, he does, what he does and at this point I doubt he is ready to let go of that dream, when he has gotten so close. [/QUOTE]
