Cuteboots - sorry to come over as all callous. The thing is that it's a tough sport and there simply is no money to be creating support groups etc. Big money only comes to the tiny percentage at the very top.

Also, it is a sport at the end of the day. There are more injuries and deaths in professional rugby but there are no support groups - I can't really see that there would be any in amateur boxing. 'Support groups' for other halves in sports sounds like PC bullshit anyway(IMO)

Sorry - just my opinion, no offence and all, but you did post on a public forum for opinions and advice
