[QUOTE="DDD, post: 583264, member: 35"] Sending my most supportive thoughts your way. You are walking a tightrope and (even though I have absolutely NO right to do so) it chaps me off that husband can't "man up" enough to at least role play if that's what is needed for difficult child's mental health and recovery. In fact I wonder if that is not what difficult child is waiting for. You and your difficult child are tight as ticks and I thoroughly understand that as it is true of me and easy child/difficult child. on the other hand sports guys live in and are surrounded by "guys" judging their skills, emotions, reactions etc. When we went thru our "similar" but not so severe issues my husband cried in my presence (one of two times in 37 years of marriage), he hugged easy child/difficult child to affirm his love [U]but[/U] he has never been able to sit and listen and talk and "hash out" the trauma with easy child/difficult child. I don't think that a conversation or two would have lessened the negative impact much but I do think have your male role model reaching out one on one and letting you know that they are and will continue to be at your side might have had an impact. Moms are very important for sure but Dad's support may even be more important. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
