[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 556772, member: 14557"] Well, the good news is that husband can still pull his head out of his rear-end and pull himself together on crisis. difficult child had his game and it certainly didn't help his self-confidence issues. It was absolutely awful to watch. He started great, I started to get hopeful. Then he made a mistake, not a big one even and absolutely crumbled. He was totally useless after that. After the game he was a total wreck. In tears (and he is not a crier normally), devastated, hopeless and so tightly wound I was worried he would go to full blown panic attack or explode. Yeah, it is only sport and I kept telling that to difficult child and to myself, but for him it is a central point of his existence. The thing he is good at and he has never been struggling with it like now. No idea what happens next. I'm very worried for him but trying to stay strong and positive. And as I said, husband was able to get back to 101 of sport parenting. In times like this parents' job is to support and keep reminding that it is not the end of the world. But still I think there is really something going on with husband even if he is not telling me what. [/QUOTE]
