[quote=Anonymous]My twin brother. He’s enormously successful in his field and has a great family life. But I’m very happy with where I am now, too. I had to take a long time to get over my resentment that he was “golden” in our family, and I think he took a long time to tone down his self-regard. And some of the resentment is still there. I love my parents but avoid going back to our childhood home because it brings up these bad feelings. That said, in retrospect I am somewhat grateful that the bright spotlight on him for so many years gave me room to develop. Maybe a self fulfilling prophecy, and hindsight is 20/20, but I think his personality needed a constant spotlight to motivate his success, and mine needed room to take its own path without constant attention.
