[quote=Anonymous]I was the golden child. There were 4 of us total. My older brother who had a terrible personality conflict with my dad is super successful career wise, making substantially into the 7 figures. He got divorced over not wanting kids and it makes me sad because I know that’s childhood trauma/he’s be a great dad. Still not in touch with our parents. I have a relatively prestigious Fed law job as these things go. Happy home life with 3 great kids. Younger sister was by far the least academically successful, but had a great work ethic. Only a 2 year college degree, but making high five figures in a nice low cost of living area. Loves her job. Good personality and would have gotten on well with our parents if not for their academic expectations. Reconciled now. Littlest brother never fully launched but has some medical issues. Hopefully he meets someone. That would make all the difference in his eventually quality of life. He was the next shiniest kid — the silver child? — and they just coddled him way too much.[/quote]
