[quote=Anonymous]My family valued the same things in girls as American culture at large - pretty, popular, conformist, feminine, rule abiding, not too aggressive, smart, etc. So the golden child was all of those things, perfectly. She grew up to be very successful, rewarded for being this ideal. At 50, she struggles a bit with a feeling of having no identity. She envies others who seem to be happy and authentic. She missed out on getting to develop into anything other than Ideal Barbie. She mainly is doing well, though, and concerns herself primarily with her children, wanting to give them the things she did not have, such as close family relationships, freedom to be who they are and choose what they want to do. She has some narcissistic qualities (selfish, self centered, superior) but she is not a narcissist - she is a good person.[/quote]
