[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please tell me this is a true story and not a troll!  I am one of those who always think I am screwing up as a parent and my sins do not com anywhere close to those of your parents.

Also, you are all high achievers.  Are you all generally pretty happy, too?[/quote]

OP:

This is not a troll.  I am actually leaving out many of the more sordid details.  We are happy in the every day sense, but all battle depression, loneliness, trust issues, abandonment issues etc.  One of us started to drink too much, but the rest of us called him out on it. Every day is a challenge for me emotionally because the safer I am, the more it hits me just how much we lacked and the more it hurts.  I also suffer from PTSD-like symptoms.

No one in our lives knows this about us. We all project an almost perfect serenity and seem better adjusted than most people.  Whenever we get together, we are the picture of success and glamour.  People often comment on how charmed our lives must be. [/quote]
