[quote=Anonymous]I was the shining all-AP, National Merit, club President, class leader, star of the school plays, elite liberal arts college daughter. I’m glad my parents didn’t crow about my accomplishments or act smug and competitive, because shit hit the fan when I developed bipolar disorder at 20. I self medicated with drugs and alcohol to simply get through the day until I was properly diagnosed and treated. My parents loved and supported me through it. I have a degree and a career that I’m incredibly proud of, even though both are less prestigious than what I was on track to achieve. They’re glad I’m alive and functioning in society. There but the grace of God, and all that. [/quote]
