Now let's say she has been playing for the stars and is player 10 or 11. Not bad, but not power conf material. Let's say you had an accident at work and your hand got crushed in the garbage truck compactor and you got a nice workmens comp settlement and could afford to send your kid to any college. URI offers her a roster spot and 15k athletic scholarship. The next day Amherst coach calls and offers her a roster spot. Do you tell her, sorry babe, Amherst is a better school and you did a wicked good job in school, but I paid for a lot of soccer travel and club fees over the past few years. So you are taking the URI offer. Just checking!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI have a girl heading to D1, Paul. I don't regard that as an ultimate sign of parental success. But I would regard my forcing her to MCLA a failure on my part. Word on the street is, the girl you subjected to that actual experience feels that way about you. All over girls' soccer and your deep feelings of inadequacy as a man and a son, which you were unable to overcome in the best interest of your older daughter. Truly sad.

You're so damaged. I've seen this before with Dads who feel like they failed because of not producing a son, especially when the Dads were athletes and or had their own fathers who were athletes. The need to overcompensate can be stunning as we've seen from the one and only.

Being focused on exposing your serial lies, distortions, fictions and relentless disparagement of others does not require anyone being jealous of you. If I for instance am upset about not having a professional level athlete would I only focus on you? Why haven't I railed against the Mewis family or the other SM? Maybe you're just a bad guy, period. And btw, I've called you out long before I even knew you had another kid who might end up being a phenom.
