[quote=Anonymous]To 9:02 -- my bro and I used to argue about what our family knew or should do. I said they didn't know. He said they knew and didn't give a shit. It made him very bitter. I used to cling to this idea that I could earn people's help by being brave and self-sacrificing and not putting my grandparents through the pain of hearing bad things about their kids. But in truth I kind of believed my brother was right, deep down. Once I spoke to my uncle as an adult I learned no one had a clue. It seems my mother used to brag about us as god 's gift and pretty explicitly claim we were "better" than the cousins, so everyone assumed we were spoiled and idolized. They never knew what was going on at home. FWIW I'm a teacher now and I try my best to see the signs. [/quote]
