[quote=Anonymous]I saw some quote applied to a situation in the news that I think applies well to my GC sister. It was something like....if you get used to special treatment, when you are treated equally and fairly, you think you are being discriminated against.

My GC had many exceptional qualities and got lots of praise, but she was never admonished for her alarming behavior. She was seen as incapable of being anything but amazing even when others pointed things out and my parents ascribed some qualities to her she definitely did not have.

So when she left the house and had to function in college and law school and work it came up a lot. Roommates didn't treat her like royalty so there were explosive arguments and moving out. Men she met were never brilliant enough. Job offers were not worthy of her. She expected all sorts of special treatment at work, got fired and then tried to sue her lawfirm. She worked at a top lawfirm and thought she could win suing them?

She will get millions from mom and is well funded by mom, but she will never experience a functional relationship because her concept of relationships is all about what they can do for her.[/quote]
