I don/'/t think //"family"// will ever be destroyed. It/'/s a bit of a misdiagnosis of the whole thing. A bit of removal of the labels that have developed, on top of a large destruction of financial and spiritual foundations of many people, combined with a post-modernistic //"relativism"// of what family means to someone. They start to feel less close to their actual family, and closer to close friends, and they realize just how grey the thing really is. It/'/s adapting, just like the diagnosis of ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder).

That being said, there/'/s plenty of emotional and identity strength in a family, regardless of how we view it at a younger age. In a matter of time, we/'/ll see it as a redefining of our values, moving towards a more liberal sense of identity.

That being said, completely respect the opinion. I/'/d be willing to talk about it if you feel inclined.

Many lament the passing of traditional families. Change is uncomfortable, truly.
Widows and widowers, orphans, and singles used to remain alone, but now they co-habitate for comfort, friendship, and safety. It is probably a form of nuclear family rising out of the ashes. Much harder to romanticize, but more of our choosing. We can/'/t pick our family--but we can pick our friends!
And foundations can be re-built at any time of life.
It isn/'/t what it was, and neednt be what it is...but part salvage and part new..and our fortune is to be able to build our own family without a blueprint of someone else/'/s design. softerware

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
