Why are families broken up?

What affects family relationships

negatively?

Why do parents divorce?

Negative family relationships

1- Lack of trust : without trust, parents and children wouldn’t build up a bonding relationship. Instead, they will be pulled apart from each other.

2- Not enough time together: This issue can separate each member of the family from the others and might take family relationships to an end .

3- Lack of communication: if there wasn’t enough communication between the members of the family, the individuals couldn’t understand each other clearly.

4- Disagreement: Disagreement might lead the parents to divorce and the family to break up since one member might think of this problem as a fight.

What keeps families

together?

Love

It is the main bond that holds a family together.

trust

In Tony Abbott's story “The Postcard”, the parents do not trust each other.

Respect in family

Respect is the core

of family

relationships and

harmony

The main factor for maintaining a family is respect and trust. Everyone in the family must show respect to the other members because nobody is more important than the others.

If communication and trust occur between family members on a regular basis, it makes establishing the family rules for respect much easier.
