I am sorry if your son really HAS decided to retire.
However, just be sure that you had quite a bit of QUALITY time with your son when you were BOTH fully committed to a joint aim. There are MILLIONS of dads who never have/had these moments with their kids!
Our kids are just on loan to us for a VERY short time.... you have shared something with your son that he WILL remember.... and hopefully, with affection for a Dad who stood by him and worked FOR him in something that mattered to him.
Unless you have made a b*lls up of it (as some fathers do), you will be fondly remembered!
What else can we ask for or expect?
If he has retired, go and spend the money you WOULD have spent on any other child, your missus or..... on YOURSELF! Buy and exciting car and don't give a F*CK when someone shouts 'Middle age Crisis'. I am 61 now and people STILL tell me when I am driving my (now) 28th Lotus that it's just a 'mid life crisis'. That means I have been in Mid-Life from the age of 19 to 61. I'd like to think they BELIEVE I might make 121 years of age.....
