5Family, well gosh. Where to start… Now all makes sense with your first posting. I cannot begin to tell you the heart break I feel for you and your Mid. You’ve had many sleepless nights I’m sure and you have alot of sympathy here on this board as I’m sure others will tell you when they have the chance to read this. Deep down, you realize that the most important thing in life is to have a happy, healthy kid. If its his/her destiny to find that happiness somewhere else then you gotta find some comfort in their decision to seek out their own way to do that. So, he/she gave it a try. Its a far cry from failure. He/she will take all the experiences & knowledge with them to a new place and most likely do very well. I’m not sure the cell phone or visits home can hold too much blame if they reach that decision that this academy isn’t for them. Kids just gotta see for themselves sometimes and parents can’t help with that. So no beating yourself up! I wish ya’ll the best of luck with your new beginning. I promise, as a parent, I know I am enjoying the USMMA experience more than my Plebe. Take care.
