[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the scapegoat. Sibling is the "golden" one (aka enabler). Sibling was successful right away; big academic success in hs, full ride scholarship to SLAC, professional school, selective residency and fellowship, strong career, marriage & 2 kids and picket fence. I barely graduated from hs, dropped out of college, and needed financial help all through my 20s. It was disastrous. In my late 20s I got it together and now have more education, money, and social prestige than "golden" sibling did. Stronger marriage than sibling, but never had kids. It all came out in the wash. [/quote I could have written this to a T! My golden child sibling is so miserable and envious that I did alright. To them I’m only successful because of luck. Now I’m greedy, destroying the environment for traveling and only made it because of my spouse. [/quote]
