My DS is currently a youngster at USNA and yesterday the inevitable has happened and that my son's time at the Academy is over. He called me yesterday stating that he is quitting the Academy and that he is no longer happy being there. I asked if he was home sick or stressed out and he said neither. He said his heart is not in it anymore and feeling miserable and no longer have the motivation to continue. He said he felt this way ever since after Plebe year and tried to ride the wave to see if some feelings would change but apparently wasn't enjoying the ride any longer. He will finish the rest of this semester and not come back after the holiday break. We tried talking him out of it but his mind is already made up to leave. We're very, very disappointed to say the least but at the same token as parents we have to support his decision. We didn't want to push him to get through it and suck it up while feeling miserable in fear of him doing something stupid. Any thoughts to mend our broken hearts?
