[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Eunice Kennedy wound up the most functional with the best relationship of all the Kennedy kids. I've never seen any reports that Sargent cheated on her, and they were married for almost 60 years (until Eunice died). Their corner of the family was also the one most dedicated to public service, inspired by Eunice's close relationship with her sister Rosemary, who had an intellectual disability and was also given a lobotomy as treatment. What the Shriver's did with the Special Olympics is the kind of truly meaningful legacy that a lot of rich people claim to want but very few ever actually produce. The only similar example I can think of is the Carters and Habitat for Humanity. But the Carters were not born wealthy -- Jimmy's family was essentially middle class, but in a very poor area.

One reason I found it so sad when everything came out about Schwarzenegger is that I really feel like Maria and the other Shriver kids/grandkids are among the most functional of the whole Kennedy clan, and it was really sad to see more of that dysfunction in that side of the family. As someone from a large and sprawling, and dysfunctional, family, I guess I'd been inspired by what Eunice and Sargent did and was sad when Maria's family wound up with some of the same problems that plagued many of her cousins, aunts, and uncles.[/quote]

Because of her family background (and her own successes), Maria Shriver unfortunately was a target for a social climber and a narcissist like Schwarzenegger. [/quote]
