At least kids of broken families are not ostracized as they had been when I grew up (in the stone age, of course). I remember one girl, (ONLY ONE), whose parents were divorced. We pitied her and kept our distance.
I moved a bunch as a kid – maybe a dozen times including to different countries before I got out of elementary school. As much as the world can be different in different places it taught be that kids were kids. There were many times that I missed the friends I had to leave – but in the end the experience of realizing that has probably helped me more.

Yeah, my husband’s parents divorced in the 1950’s. He says they were treated like bastards, or with pity, “the poor little **** children.”

My wife and I often refer to the ‘normal family’ then laugh.

Newly wed young people do not want children today.

I remember reading an Erle Stanley Gardner mystery and being confused by the term “grass widow.” Haven’t heard that one in years…
