you are to be congratulated as well as your siblings. however your example really has no bearing on the conversation (not trying to be mean, just being blunt). your situation is the exception to the rule- and exceptions to the rule are useless for policy debate. and as i said previously, for every 99 criminals, you would unfortunately get rid of one einstein as well.
There are more "exceptions to the rule" than you think. My situation is similar to his-alcohol abuse-undereducated parents, but we had a child-oriented mother and there was lots of love from both parents. Besides, I am the youngest--I'd be the one not here!!:conf2: And that one Einstein may just find a cure for cancer.
