[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 549961, member: 14557"] Could be. Or just magical thinking trying to make herself feel better. It is in fact very common, I think. Except most are aware enough not to get themselves in situations there their story would be revealed a lie. As a mother of two somewhat promising athletes (or in this point mainly as a mother of difficult child) with not so common surname I get this a lot. "Oh, your son is that boy. You know, I would had been a pro athlete in that same sport, but X." X being injury, lack of financial opportunities, wrong hometown, bad coach or something else. Or even "My kid could be that too. He was so talented but X" X being again injury, bad coach, kids deciding to concentrate on school work, sport being so expensive or something else. And most of this comes from mostly 'normal' and stable people. Of course everyone knows that every bar of every town of every country there is at least few 'would had been cliffrichards or lionelmessis, buts' but it is also surprisingly common in your everyday, normal and stable people.
