Please give me a call...I sent long message but it was dropped ..don;t know why. My anme is Patrice and my number is 812-490-7632. I think I can give you some of the information she are needing. Stop beating yourself up..this was not anything you did or that he did either. Get some rest. I am in Central Time zone.
HI Sweetheart. Please do NOT feel like you have failed your son. My son was very involved in sports, friends, church and everything he could get his hands on. When I spoke to him yesterday, he said like this "Mom, I'm sorry I got hurt. I guess it was a blessing from God because this place is not for me!" Hardest words I've ever had to hear because I too felt like a failure. We can't do that! Stay strong and know that even the most active kids in life with everything struggle. Be proud he tried. We all love ya guys here and will be here for support!
I wrote this for another member whose son has been separated from the Navy.
"If he is separated and discharged, it's imperative that he has support and start to focus on alternative career paths. He will feel like a failure but he is NOT - not by a long shot. There are many worthwhile and well paying careers choices outside the Navy. Our kids are our future. If they don't do well at one thing, we must help them find the inner strength to deal with disappointments and mistakes and help them transition to civilian life. You can not feel sorry for yourself and you must prevent him from feeling sorry for himself. "
