[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand how you feel but you need to get over it. I had parents like you and a similar thing happened to me. Even now, 20 years later, while I just made partner in biglaw, my dad will still say “if only you’d got a place at Harvard”. I have no idea what he thinks would be better about my life - he doesn’t know either, it’s just a box ticking exercise for him. Like, I went to excellent high school, law school, got great jobs, had family etc and if he were designing my “perfect” life, he’d add Harvard in there. He feels I deserved to go there, and wanted that for me even though I didn’t care about it myself. I just laugh about it now but for years it drove me crazy![/quote]
