My Mother Called Me a Failure - My Sister's Fiancé Recognized My Work

My Mother Called Me a Failure - My Sister's Fiancé Recognized My Work But let me start at the beginning, because this wasn't about one dinner. This was about thirty-four years of being invisible in my own family. My name is Rachel, and I'm the older of two daughters. Growing up in our Boston suburb, I learned early that achievement without recognition is just noise nobody wants to hear. My sister Courtney was the star—cheerleader, homecoming court, the girl who could walk into a room and make everyone turn. I was the one in the corner with a book, the one teachers praised and parents forgot to mention at dinner parties.When Courtney barely scraped through high school, my parents threw her a graduation party with a DJ and a chocolate fountain. When I graduated summa cum laude from Boston University, they took me to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and spent the meal discussing Courtney's new retail job at Nordstrom. "She's so good with people," Mom said, beaming. "You were always more... solitary."
