I feel my childhood was marred by not having this information and at least some acknowledgment of the situation. My husband had a similar situation - unidentified GT kid. NEVER EVER studied. College was a big shock for him. Did we turn out ok? Yes, but not without some very painful lessons that would have been better learned much much sooner. This has led us down the path of homeschooling our own kids.
I wrote a response twice but deleted them, so without going into to much detail...I agree. I never blended, and for me the lessons were extremely painful.
I don't want it to be ok... eventually...
