[quote=Anonymous]My family of origin is very high achieving -- a lot of Ivy League degrees and a lot of success, but a lot of coldness and dysfunction. I look at my "Uncle Fred" who is much less successful and less educated than my parents and whom my parents have always basically sneered at, but his kids are close, loving, and attentive to each other and to their parents. Am I romanticizing this? My family is successful and smart and I share my parent's political values but I don't feel my sibs are there for me, or that my kids have cousins who are there for them, other than Uncle Fred and the second cousins. Thoughts?[/quote]
