LOL!

12:40 and [b]former child prodigy here.[/b] I rarely speak to my parents and haven't seen them in years. Don't ask for money but do try to avoid them as much as possible: Same for other similarly gifted kids now adults with overbearing parents. Most parents like mine did not achieve what they wanted in their careers so they focused on their kid's talents rather than their own.[/quote]

I seriously doubt you were ever a child prodigy.  This is the fundamental problem.  Parents and children with hyperinflated opinions about ther potential and accomplishment.  This board is riddled with this disease.  This explains why you don't speak to your parents.  It only takes a pin to burst a bubble and humpty dumpty comes tumbling down.  That's your fundamental problem not parents  who mentor and nurture their young children even with academic enrichment after school or in the summers.  These parents don't view their children as prodigies.  That you view yourself (and your parents) a former prodigy ... is the problem.  I bet you even had 99.9% on the WPSSI.  LOL!
