[quote=Anonymous]This is my husband's family. Though, he will never admit it. It turned out okay for him and his brother since the boys were put on a pedestal due to being really talented athletes and ended up with great coaches that acted as mentors. His sisters, however, both have really struggled and never successfully been able to launch. 
The only life advice my husband has ever been given is through coaches, mentors at work, or good friends. He would never call up his parents and ask how to handle a situation. Which to me is baffling, since I grew up in such a supportive family, and has caused issues in our marriage since my husband is often the first in line to be called when any issues arises (sister got arrested lets call our son to fix it). I've never heard my husband call his family to discuss anything beyond sports, or to fix one of their problems. His parents did not even know our child had been diagnosed with autism. When I asked my husband why he didn't tell them, he responded, Why would I?
Which I get.[/quote]
