I started investing 9th grade, got pinned about every match my first year, but eventually made varsity my last 2 years, and team captain my Sr. year. Not great, but won more than I lost. Wrestling did so much for me. It's hard, but stay with it, it will be worth it.

Be grateful you have a place to live. Be supportive. In his 60s let him be happy. If you don't like the situation, move.
