I’m not saying a divorced family is a bad family, it’s just not the utopic poster child ideal version of GOOD family. [/quote]

My parents have been together for 50 something years but my dad suddenly up and left. Am I from a bad family?[/quote]

I mean yes, if someone is looking at your family from the outside they will perceive it differently than they did 10 yrs ago. Does not erase your own experience.

I don't think there is a perfect family though. A good family mostly depends on the father. If the father is good, lawful, financially responsible, puts family first and isn't a selfish narcissist then[b] it's all good times ahead for the family. [b]You have the kids college paid, nice house in nice neighborhood[/b] instead of some roach or mouse infested place, [b]nice schools[/b], more opportunities, parents speak fluent English, good jobs, all those equal good family. [/quote]

Wait what?[/quote]

You missed the part “parents speak fluent English” . . . Wait what? [/quote]

Correct. Parents who speak fluent English have more job opportunities meaning higher pay meaning affording a better neighborhood and life for their kids. I worked in hr and we couldn't move up any people who refused to speak or learn English because they wouldn't be able to communicate with their teams.

[b]So immigrant families where the parents may not speak “good English” are by definition not “good” families? [/b]I don’t where you’re from PP, but I grew up in So. Fla. and it was difficult to find most work if you were not bi-lingual in English and Spanish. [/quote]

Correct. - DP[/quote]
