Gabbs,

That's awful and just plain mean. My parents weren't mean, just uninterested. They never had a clue and didn't want to. I had to talk them into coming to my highschool graduation, and I graduated with honors in the top 3% (I didn't have to beg, but they were just not particularly interested; they took no photos at all). They just didn't care and no mattter what, I didn't do well enough. I live only 1 (long) day's drive from them, and they have come to see their grandson only twice in 6-1/2 years.
Oh well. I guess we're not all lamenting our lives here because of stellar childhoods & parents. :-)
