[quote=wrestlingparents] All I was seeing is if any other athletes have had this problem as the administration is telling us. We have been told this is the reason these things (which is only 2 or 3) have happened.
*******The 'reason' is irrelevant. Weither one is an athlete or not is irrelevant. The skill that needs to be learned is DETACHMENT. The fact remains that many people in this world ACT like JERKS. We must learn to detach from them and not allow them to make us miserable. If Jesus couldn't please everyone, then it is pretty silly to think that we can! (besides, pleasing everyone should never be anyone's goal).
Again, i'm not saying it is easy to do (detach/ignore 'jerks'), but anyone who learns this skill, will be a much better person for having learned it.
CODEPENDENCY sucks. FIGHT IT!
