[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I were recently talking about how we seem pretty average if you compare us to our peer group (even below average in terms of income or professional success) but if you look at us in context of our families of origin, we're amazing. We come from families full of substance abuse issues, serious mental health problems. where most of our immediate family members or minimally functional. Lots of divorce, alcoholism, drug abuse. Siblings who are still dependent on our parents even in their 40s and 50s, plus parents with serious mental health problems.

We are financially independent, both have stable careers of 20+ years, own our home, have a strong marriage of 20+ years, and have one kid who is doing great (doing well in school, no behavioral or serious medical problems, happy and well-adjusted). Compared to our friends we probably seem like underachievers. Some very close friends know our backgrounds, but most have no idea. We are actually a lot more impressive than it might seem.[/quote]
