They are all doing their best as quick as possible to destroy what is left of any live modeling and examples of what real family looks like. They want the kids away from it, out of it’s presence. The kids will never be able to do it (a real family) if they do not see it modeled. If “family” is foreign to them, something they have never seen modeled they will never even desire it or be able to duplicate it.
I have a lot of students in that situation now.
