Family issues

There are many different kinds of families. Some have two parents, while others have a single parent. Sometimes there is no parent and grandparents raise grandchildren. Some children live in foster families, adoptive families, or in stepfamilies.

Families are much more than groups of people who share the same genes or the same address. They should be a source of support and encouragement. This does not mean that everyone gets along all the time. Conflicts are a part of family life. Many issues can lead to conflict, such as illness, disability, addiction, job loss, school difficulties and marital problems. Listening to each other and working to resolve conflicts are important in strengthening the family.

Let's take a simple example : ME!

I grew up with my mother and my grandparents

And my dog, Rikki.

I kind of never knew my dad and sometimes i feel good for not knowing him..

But sometimes i feel simply awful.

I'm not in position to judge anyone but if  someday i'll be a mother, i wouldn't abandon my son/daughter or, i don't know, just hurt them.

That would break my heart.
