How dare you suggest that children raised in a non-traditional family are missing out on something vital? I was raised by two parents, who remained married until my father died. Sound good so far? My mother was a violent, brutal alcoholic who abused prescription drugs, and my father's only concern seemed to be hiding the family's dirty little secret this from others. My life growing up was definitely a "full experience," but not good for me or the community.
Have you ever considered how many children have suffered so their parents could maintain a false image of settled respectability for the sake of society? Who checks to see if they're faking? And what happens to the people who don't live up to your ideal vision of family life? Until your proposal takes true human nature and actual life situations into account, I'll take reality and a loving family of any configuration, thank you.
