[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm going on the chance that your post is real. If not, then I hope my reply will help others.

My father was in a similar situation. He was a genius in his small town. Because it was the midwest, intelligence wasn't values but he got through. He went to college on a schollarship and eventually graduate school where he married my mother.

Fast forward, a couple decades and both my father and my mother are basically at the top of their fields, to the extent that they are presidents of international societies and regularly get flown to give speeches.

I love them for this, it's given me a lot to live up to. I went to an Ivy undergrad and Ivy Grad school emulating them. I work hard and hope to achieve what they did. I never forget the lessons they taught me about terrible parents and how they hurt children. I try to help my relatives whenever they are interested in education but, frankly, whenever I see them give up I just cut them off entirely. I have no time for blue-collar losers. Life it too short and Christmas is to crowded.

I would say don't worry. If you life a full life, it will fill up with meaningful people. I remember thanksgivings filled with people who were temporarily travelling through town and coudln't see their own family. On the other side I remember christmases on contintents all around the world. I wouldn't know half as many nobel-prize winers otherwise. I now love waiting in anticipation waiting to see  which of my "family friends" will be honored in the fall. My parents gave me this gift. I hope you can give it to your children,[/quote]
