[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 74583610, member: 342064"] I agree there are unskilled parents who don't know how to handle their relationship especially through the hard times. Then when they have children this only compounds the situation. We see a lot of young parents in this situation enough so that our organisation has created a specific young parenting program. I think society has created some unreal ideas about relationships, marriage and parenthood and some can go into these situations with unreal expectations. I also think that relationships and parenting can be stressful at times and it comes down to how as a society we can either add to that stress through anti family policies or relieve it through support. IMO this goes back to values we have as a society. The saying that a parents sins can be visited upon the children is true. Poor parenting can created unprepared and less resilient children who grow up finding it harder to cope with life. But I think to break this chain we need a united front of governments and communities being supportive of families. People can buck trends and have strong families despite their circumstances but I think these are exceptions. It is harder to produce strong and healthy families in a dysfunctional community. So it is a complex situation especially today and we are seeing the results of many young people with mental health issues and unprepared for life. IMO the best makeup of a family to get the best outcomes is where a child has a father and mother figure in their life. But the reality is that does not always happen so we need to help all families. The best way to do that is to create networks of support through community centres, churches and with government support. Unfortunately the hardest issue I see that is preventing consistent strong and healthy families is we are not united in our values on relationships and what makes a family. [/QUOTE]
