[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 556139, member: 14557"] Malika, I'm self-confessed neurotic worrywart, so certainly no offence taken pointing that out :winking: You are very much right. This too shall pass. difficult child's sport situation probably more quickly than not and husband's and difficult child's relationship... Well, they do love each other, they will work it out someday. And I often end up underestimating difficult child's resilience and share guts, I hope he will again show me wrong. And in the end of day: There is absolutely nothing I can do, that I'm not doing already. I did tell him all those mommyisms when he needed to hear them, I did listen him vent of his dad's attitude and yesterday I made up something I needed to discuss and plan with him and called and tried to get him think non-sport things little bit into the future. Just trying to get his thoughts out of his current jam and to totally different things and remind him at the same time that there will be next week, next month, next year etc. And he is gaining back some sense of humour.
