letting go
this one's hard to admit, but I have reached a point where I have to face the reality that I am guilty of being more or less "one of those" dads. I have coached my son in soccer since he was 6. he's now twelve, and we are at the point where they either fade or step it up. I have tried to take the middle road with him (and team) and achieve development, but have fun too. have tried in the past to "pawn him off" as I realize he's been spoiled playing for me, but he was having none of it. I enjoy coaching, but I admit I probably wouldn't do it/have done it, were it not for him. have enjoyed sharing that time with him, but I have to admit to some anger and disappointment at his decision not to be even reasonably dedicated to giving himself a chance at HS ball. It's a stark realization that I have "propped up" his interest for some time. I will add that he's my youngest, and typically a bit soft & spoiled. just needed to vent..I KNOW I shouldn't be depressed, but it somehow it feels like chopping off my hand.

anyone been on either side of this equation? abuser, or abusee?

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

kind of--he still wants to play MS this fall, but he's turned down the opportunity to train with a higher Club team--basically making the decision to slide out.

Don't sweat it, man. Hope the experience instilled some positive values and provided some good memories.

As long as he stays involved in something productive in high school, give the necessary support and encouragement, even if you think the activity sucks.

You'll do the right thing.

heh--I played cornerback, point guard, and left wing in soccer, and soccer's still my fav. at this point, if he wanted to play in HS, soccer would be his best shot--just disappointed he's come this far, and chooses to more or less bag it.
