More or less, yeah. I've always felt like I never made my parents as proud as my older sister made them. She was in a lot of clubs and got really good grades in high school and went on to do the same in college and now she has a full-time job in the city. I dealt with depression since eighth grade which made my grades terrible in high school, and caused a lot of fights with my parents. When I got to college I transferred home because of my worsening mental health. I get excellent grades now and do well for myself living with my boyfriend and our two cats and I'm applying for grad school, and my parents are proud of me now, but they, especially my mother, continue to baby me because of my past mental health issues. I've put them through a lot, but I've been much better now and I feel like no one has really told me how proud they are that I'm doing much better, it's just always a barrage of concerns if I seem a little down or irritated (which is almost always because I'm tired). It sucks. My relationship with my mom is really bad because of how she still treats me like a child, while she treats my sister like some wise saint. It is irritating, but I just keep my distance if it bothers me, and I have a good support system of friends, teachers and therapists that have told me how much I've progressed, so I try to focus on that positive outlook more.
