[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree OP. As an immigrant, it’s shocking to me how many Americans seem to hate their families. [/quote] There are cultural norms about supporting families, helping parents with young kids, "it takes a village"-style community structures, and other forms of social support in other cultures that the US doesn't have and it shows. It's not a child's job to unfsck that. You're not required to love people who abused you just because someone else's better-structured culture says family is important. Healthy family relationships are a two-way street, at least. And honestly? That's not enough for families with kids. It takes a community effort to raise a child, and the US went the way of stand-alone "every man for himself" culture.[/quote]
