Respect. Was this undergrad? What did she ultimately study? Also, was that innate? Or your parents inspired her to strive for Harvard
Undergrad and grad school. She was premed, wanted to be a doctor but developed OCD while there and went to law school.
She’s the oldest and I’m the youngest so I can’t say if it was innate really because something may have happened to make her like that before I was around but I would say yes.
Definitely didn’t come from my parents. They really weren’t involved in my academics so I imagine it was the same for my older siblings. Like i did my own homework. I don’t remember them helping, asking about school or being on us like that. Which is odd because both our parents were college educated so you’d think they’d be on us. They divorced when I was 5 so that usually makes kids grown up more independent. I just did my own thing and got good grades. Mom was working a lot when I stayed with her and my dad did the same when I stayed with him so our time together was always about hanging out, not school.
I think because my sister, the first child, was so smart and didn’t need involvement, they just didn’t do it for the rest of us either. I got good grades, my brother (middle child) didn’t.

Does she regret not having a social life or relationship with you?
I don’t know really. She’s a cat lady. Pretty sure she is asexual. I don’t think she’s ever had a boyfriend or showed interest. We had a strained relationship the older I got. Was nonexistent as an adult. I take care of my mom (disabled and dementia) so we’ve gotten more cordial having to speak regularly now about my moms health and affairs.
