Blaming anyone for getting in the way of anyone's career goals is just bull$hit, especially college or professional athletes who are uber focused on their sport. They were born with a brain, a spine and a tongue. Use them. Find the person that supports your dreams. If not, cut bait.

Expecting your son's HS girlfriend to understand how it works usually won't. My son went through this a few times over the years until he met someone who was supportive as well as has her own interests as well as a successful business. They have been together for awhile and finally will make it official this December.
