[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 520466, member: 14306"] I can relate somewhat to what you say. I was considered as "doing less than my sister", "being a less than my sister" because I could not achieve as well as she did, if I listened to stepmother and some of her brainless friends. Now, 15 years later, I can only say that among her brainless friends, a couple (husband and wife) have their daughter studying medicine, but still, she struggles. She stopped being the straight A student, to whom they consider as a toy to exhibit and that she was "so perfect". She parties a lot, and when I had to cross her, she smelled alcohol so much that I had nausea. According to my mom who also had occasions to cross her without speaking to her, she smoked pot (she may still do so) and yuck !! These smells give me nausea straight away. Now, no one bets that she will get the specialty she wishes so (pediatry, and so many persons want it that it's very difficult to obtain it). In the mean time, stepmother was slapped on the face with my ADHD diagnosis and her son's dyslexia (quite severe as far as I know). So, she had to take out her pink glasses. My dad lost his job (crisis in his field). My point is that we never know what the future holds. All those "perfect children" are "perfect" [U]for now[/U]. No one can say that it will be the same in the future. No one can say that your difficult child won't have a success. Don't give up hope, and let the others blab about their children. Take care about your children, and you don't know what really happens in their houses. On the other point, I celebrate in family my successes with my fights to make a law change. At least, no one can say that they did it for me, I deal with it by myself. I'm far from being unhappy with that : I chose it and I do it no matter what. (GP sometimes fears for my health with this fight to make a law change and all the stress it means). I also celebrate with the most meaningful persons around me. But there is absolutely nothing to blab about, I don't do anything better or worse than anyone else. [/QUOTE]
