  1. This is a wonderful commentary on the necessity of finding support while raising gifted children. It is so critical to find other people who understand what it is like to experience the highs and lows of parenting these amazing children.

  2. I am and it is surprising how our kids find friends at their intellectual level, which can lead to a whole new group of friends for parents.

  3. I am, and you’re so very right! It is lonely, raising these kids, and there are few friendships I treasure more than those with my sisters who are living this intense life, who remind me I’m not alone, who help me keep going when I look objectively at what we’re doing, and balk. People who understand, who don’t judge, who grok the difference between holding on by our fingertips and hothousing… The relief is incredible.
