DS13 has decided he isn't going to be returning to his team sport this season. He's been doing it for 9 years. He's talented and I love watching him play. He isn't academic and so this was his area to really shine.
I feel so, so sad. I'm worried that without a hobby his world is going to be limited to Xbox and socialising and school. This might be catastrophising (not a word but you know what I mean!) but I feel like he's more likely to get pulled into smoking, drugs, etc.
Any words of wisdom to help me man up and feel less gutted about this?
