[quote=Anonymous]Hang in there OP - try not to dwell on it. My DC had a pretty big disappointment several years ago and I knew of several parents who had "advocated" for their DCs to get what my child did not end up getting. I felt terrible and conflicted as to whether I should have down the same to level the playing field. I listened to my DC, but kept it all to myself and didn't offer up any excuses (even if they were valid). DC had no idea that I felt as bad as he did. Several years later DC is excelling and achieving things neither of us could have imagined. That early setback was a huge motivator. One of the same "advocating" parents told their DC (who was experiencing his 1st disappointment) that my DC only got it because I had talked to the coaches, which I hadn't done. That kid ended up quitting the sport a few months later. [/quote]
