All morning long I have been discussing a variety of issues with my husband. Now after two hours of conversation, it all boils down to this family. What did we learn and what is the reason and cost of having a family.
We talked about what we learned about being parents. Whether we like it or not, we learned to be parents from watching and experiencing what we received from our parents. Our parents learned from their parents. Scary isn't that thought?
We now pay a tremendous cost for the way that we learned and the way that we have taught our children. Now all the family is pretty messed up. We are now dysfunctional as a society. Everyone is afraid to raise their children. Afraid to make a mistake with their children. Fortunately or unfortunately we do learn from our mistakes.
So many families are splintered and nearly dissolved into our society. The family means something different now. It is not a unit, not here, no in my community. When it is all said and down is the family any better or worse off. Should we just get an empty photo frame and insert anyone and claim them as our family.
