It's often puzzled me that only unhappy adults can break up a family. I reckon there are plenty of young siblings who'd like to see the back of each other; or even the back of one or other of their parents.
Of course, they can wait till they're grown-up - but parents could wait till their kids are grown-up too.
Families are more than just the mother-father relationship - but it seems that relationship is regarded as more important than any other; and if that relationship founders the family unit can't survive.
