Mostly, we can see children that do live in a family who is only consisted of only one parent are most likely to have a crooked life. They don’t know what to do. It is very usual to us from this days.
According to Patrick F. Fagan in his article entitled How Broken Families Rob Children of Their Chances for Future Prosperity,
he stated that “whether or not a child's parents are married and stay married has a massive affect on his or her future prosperity and that of the next generation.”
The family is really a great factor in creating a good personality of a person. It is the first part of the society to teach you some good values. If the family lacks in this, a person might develop some worse form of attitude.
For us to have a greater society, we should start supporting child power. We shouldn’t let them to be drag down by their own family. Let them be a part of a new family where they can call it as a home.

Blog post 5: More and more
As we can see, there are more and more families that do live with only one parent. Since that the divorce has been legalized, many more couples have decided to live apart. They don’t even care to what their kids would feel when they would grow up. It is a very depressing reality.
According to Paul C. Vitz in his article Family Decline: The Findings of Social Science, he stated that “the growth in unmarried mothers and divorce has created a dramatic increase in single parent families.”
Due to this, many more families are living with this kind of situation. Many single parents can’t even try to have a family bond due to their work. It is very hard to be in this kind of situation. Many kids would seek attention creating too many sort of unlikely events.
As we see, even us can do something to ease the loneliness those kids were feeling. We can be friends with them and let them have some fun and we should help them avoid the things that would harm them just like the kids that were already don’t know what to do with their lives. We can change the flow of their thoughts

Blog post 4: More effort
As I can see, mostly of the single parents nowadays are very struggling to take the burden of carrying alone all of the responsibilities that should be taken by both parents but in their case, they are the only one that should support the whole family. It is very difficult to handle your work and family if your salary is not that big to hire some maids.
In the article made by David Elkind entitled Ties that Stress, he stated that
“Compared with teenagers of similar background who grow up with both parents at home," they find that "adolescents who have lived apart from one of their parents during some period of childhood are twice as likely to drop out of high school, twice as likely to have a child before age twenty, and one and a half times as likely to be 'idle' -- out of school and out of work”
Mostly of the kids that grew with only one parent are the ones who are very stubborn. They don’t usually get along with others and are very jealous of the kids that do have a whole family. They can’t help but blamed life for having that misfortune. The single parents can’t really focus too on their kids due to the works that they have to do.
Sometimes, we just need to analyze our situation and be proud of what we have. We can help those kids that are being depress so they may not become a bully just like the other kids that do raised by only one parent.

Base on my topic i research about the cycle life of family, The several studies suggest that the healthy family to protected well-being by providing companionship, emotional support. Also healthy family was positive correlation with economic security. physical health.In the other hand, couples or families face many crisis and stresses in their life cycle that can lead to imbalance of their relationship to each other. Therefor, it is essential that some changes occur in patterns of family interaction before the symptoms appear for presenting problems.
According to Broken Families, Broken Economy BY MITCH PEARLSTEIN
it’s easy to imagine, for instance, millions
becoming less accepting than in the past of top CEO's making hundreds of times
more money than they do. Conservatives’ attempts to debunk, say, tax increases
on the rich as reflecting “class envy” and “class warfare” may be less
effective than they have been till now.
The literature review of this research did not identify any systematic studies which be analysed the structures of family. Issues related to individual and family life are studied as the family life cycle . Strong relationships are found between stages in the family life cycle and a number of such issues. The major important dimensions of the family life cycle are the presence of children and length of marriage. It is show that relationships which exist between many family life variables and stages in the family cycle.

Blogpost 2: The Effect of Broken Family
In the previous entry, I have discussed on Prologue of Broken Family. Family structure was consistently found to be the deciding factor in a wide range of child behaviors that directly influence academic performance, including emotional and psychological distress, attention disorders, social misbehavior, substance abuse, sexual activity and teen pregnancy. Children from non-intact homes had higher rates of stress depression, anxiety and low self-esteem, particularly as teenagers.
The research adds to a wealth of data that show children suffer badly from divorce or parental break-up, and that those brought up by a single parent are more likely to do badly at school, suffer poor health, and fall into crime, addiction and Poverty as adults.
They're reason on why people become who they are today. Each and every one of us.

According to Broken home children are " five times more likely to suffer mental troubles " by STEVE DOUGHTY
Children from broken families are nearly five times more likely to suffer damaging mental troubles than those whose parents stay together, Government research has found.It also showed that two parents are much better than one if children are to avoid slipping into emotional distress and anti-social behaviour. The findings say that children’s family backgrounds are as important - if not more so - than whether their home is poor, workless, has bad health, or has no one with any educational qualifications.
In every Children in the broken family , the one who will most emotional . Of course , who what grow up a having a broken family?Also, Like Stress, and Insecure.
And as a product of a broken family, I can say that isn't easy. it really is not easy. But with my father and my young brother, by my side, I made it throught. So my advice is for those who was only one sideded parent, love them as much as love yourself. You've gone through heaven but you should be thankfull that they're with you at all .

Blogpost 1: Prologue : Broken family
A family, once whole, is now divided
After one heartless sister quickly decided That the other two-thirds weren't doing their share Their father, all alone, is left in painful despair Rewind, move back, to two years ago A happy scene, a party, everyone's face is aglow Before the warm fire, talks of work and of play Swirl around and around on that joyous Christmas day Flash forward, to today, everything has changed The father, now dying; that sister, deranged She's cut off her sisters from her unhappy world Ignoring the harsh injustices that have been unfurled Her daughters denied the sight of their aunts, They speak up, only to receive their mother's taunts I can see what is happening, this huge tragedy We are left with nothing, nothing but a broken family. |
While searching for articles which are related to my topic, I came across this poem. It was made by a girl named Krystel. And by reading this heartbreaking poem, I immediately realized what we have in common. It is – we are both product of broken family.
I was so young that time that I can’t remember much from those dismal years of my life. All I can remember are the endless argument of my parents. Financial problems are an example of it. They keep on discussing it again and again. Loud voices are filling the room. My father is shouting at my mother and my mother is shouting at him too. We did nothing but cry and cry. What can I do? I was young and innocent. It was the worst nightmare for me and my brother, I thought. But I was wrong because when I turned 5, my mother officially left my father therefore being a product of broken family.
Family is defined in many ways. First, in the dictionary, it was define as fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children. Second meaning is two people or more that is sharing a common passion or goal and is united by love. Either of the two, it is what we called a family.
Family is usually composed of a mother, a father and a child/children. If any of the parent is not visible during the growth of child, it is consider as broken family. Broken family is defined as a family in which the parents have separated or divorced.
According to "Effects on Children of a Broken Family" by Marky Chavez:
"Divorce is the hardest challenge that can happen to a couple especially if they have kids. It is painful for the husband and wife to finally end their marriage but they are two matured individuals who are strong enough to handle changes in their lives. The impact of this turn of events in a family’s life is more devastating on the children. Not only that it is painful for them on that moment to hear the news that their parents are getting a divorce. But the worst that can happen is the long term effect that can eventually ruin their future."
In every broken family, the one who will most devastated were the children. Of course, who want to grow up having a broken home? Also, they were so affected in many ways. Like socially, emotionally at mentally.
- Emotionally - They will be affected emotionally because of the despair they are feeling. Some of them will be tearful and depressed because of the shock. Of course who will be happy when your family is falling apart?
- Educational - When someone is depressed, everything they will do will be affected. This results to failing marks and grades. They will lose their interest and motivation in studying because of the sadness in their hearts.
- Social - They lose their interest in engaging relationship with other people. They'll have the "thought" of being left again. Most people who were of broken families are the one who have the trust issues.
In the same article Marky Chavez stated that:
"A broken home can make a child insecure. Insecure in a sense that he no longer had a complete family he can call his own. For a child’s mind, a family is composed of a father, mother and children. And living without either his father or mother will create fear and insecurities in him. This feeling of insecurities will even trigger if he is around his friends who are living a normal, complete and happy life. This is especially true in school events where the parents’ presence are required. There are plenty of school activities that involves the parents and seeing scenes like these will even make him feel ashamed of his family situation?"
Because of incompleteness they are feeling they become too insecure of people that surrounds them creating a inferiority complex. They envy those people who have or experienced having a happy and complete family while they experienced the worst.
As a product of a broken family, I can say that it isn't easy. It really is not. But with my father by my side, I made it through. So my advice is for those who has only one parent, love them as much as you love yourself. You've gone through hell but you should be thankful that they're with you through it all.
