Wow, this generation would be up the creek considering their grandparents and great-grandparents are the ones that raise and support them AND their parents.
Yup.
Grandparents, especially in poor and broken homes, raise the grandchildren.
Mom and Dad may be in some hole somewhere high on drugs, in prison, or not around at all. But, grandma and sometimes both grandma and grandpa provide a family for the children.
There would be a lot more suffering and neglect without grandparents.
