Let's give the OP a break here. No matter how you slice it, being separated from a SA is emotional for the cadets/mids... and often their families.
In many cases it will be the first time in their lives these amazing young people have ever failed at anything. And in many cases their families are disappointed to the point of shame and anger. So much so that part of the counseling these cadets/mids get during separation includes the topic of where they will live/go next because many families say "don't bother coming home". FACT.
So given the emotions involved, let's cut the OP a break and assume his/her heart is in the right place. We often tell posters here to have a "thicker skin" and not be defensive.... good advice for us too even if we feel the reminder isn't needed.
