Sentiment: POSITIVE
The nuclear family doesn't work. It's very destructive; it grew out of selfishness.
My parents suffered from that ideal of a perfect nuclear family. They found that a difficult pressure, I think.
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
I've overcome neglect and deprivation, abandonment and abuse.
Divorce is a by-product of the fact that maybe the nuclear unit is gone.
I think every family is dysfunctional, and some manage to control it better than others.
I don't think you necessarily have to be part of a traditional nuclear family to be a good mother.
Most people no longer live in nuclear families at all.
I've decided the secret of parenting is benevolent neglect.
That's all nonviolence is - organized love.
