It definitely is tough to have a sibling that is significantly lower than the other/s, so there is nothing wrong with feeling happy to get such good results!
My daughter (high school) and one of my two sons (in grad school) are both in the gifted range (one HG, one MG). As for my other son, who is out of college and back living at home without a job, school has always been a major struggle. He's never been tested, and I think he is smarter than he seemed at school, but I wouldn't be surprised if his IQ is below 100. Of course, the other two siblings are very kind and would never bring up the fact that they are smarter than him, but he sees his brother getting accepted into Ivy League schools, his sister scoring 1000 points higher on the SAT than him, both of them seemingly effortlessly getting perfect grades in classes that he failed, etc..
