[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an only. I had a very close relationship with both parents. It was cozy. But I echo the pressure comments. When my father passed away in my late teens (who I absolutely adored) one of the first emotions I had (on top of overwhelming sadness and grief) was relief that I didn’t have to keep pushing myself to live up to his expectations. I think the pressure would have greatly eased if there had been another focus of my parents’ attention. [/quote] I have a sister and still felt overwhelming pressure from my parents to perform. Point being, this is not a product of being an only child.[/quote] Not always, but it can be. In my case I’m pretty sure it was. [/quote]
