Easy tiger. Offering opinions is what we do on this site, whether those opinions are judgmental or not.
In Reid's case, I can see how parenting COULD have played a role. I say could because I don't know the full situation. But it would make sense that a football coach who works 70-80 hours a week wasn't there enough for his kids through adolescence. I'm not saying that's the case, but it's a possibility.
Do I feel bad about thinking it reflects poorly on Reid? Absolutely not. That's just life. People judge, I'm a people, and I don't feel badly about it.
I know nothing about your situation. I'm not equipped to give an opinion on the matter.
