There is nothing like starting a new career a week after doubling your family size! As a father, I believe the 'family thing' was affecting his SX racing already this year. (He commented many times that he "just wasn't willing to take the chances he needed to to beat BS.)
IMHO, I don't think his desire & focus will ever be the same again. After all, he really does not need to prove ANYTHING to ANYBODY at this point in his life. He's already proven himself beyond a shadow of a doubt!
Good luck, RC, we wish you the best in whatever you do.
