Split Families.

    How come most families on the TV are one big happy family?  One rarely sees split families, yet at least 60% of families now in days are ‘broken’. The children living in a broken family would be able to relate to those shows better, so why aren’t TV companies including those in the programming more often? I can’t relate to someone who lives in a ‘normal’ family, because my family isn’t ‘normal’. My parents have split up, and even though they have found new loves, my family is still separated. Even the new loves have been in previous relationships, so how can I pretend my family is ‘normal’? Even though kids living in a ‘normal’ family may not be able to relate to a show with split families as well, it would give those other kids a sense of belonging. Also, just because the person’s family is ‘broken’ doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with them. Society just calls it a ‘broken’ family because everyone isn’t together. The family isn’t as one unit, however, as several units that come back together to act as one. Such a life could feel very eventful and as though there is no time for one’s self for being involved with several people, but there’s just more people to love you in such situation. With that being said, if one is in a ‘normal’ family, it doesn’t mean they aren’t loved, they just have a different type of love provided from them.
