modern family..

More than 50% of marriages end in divorce. With that said, the idea of a traditional family is becoming less and less visible in today's society. There are many single parents out there, but many of them marry one another and form fused families. I remember when I was younger, I had friends who's parents were divorced who seemed to be embarrassed to admit disclose so. Back then, divorce was still pretty taboo. I never really understood  why. I never really saw what the big deal was. I've been exposed to a lot of different types of families growing up and have come to realize that having both biological parents around your whole life doesn't guarantee that you'll grow up 'right'. I don't even think it's necessary to even have both parents,especially if a parent causes more damage than does good. I'm not encourage single parenthood or or divorce, I just think that people need to let go of the idea of the 'perfect' family and be open and accepting of people around them.
