The truth of this is very evident in the billions spent on trying to recreate families for the ever growing numbers of children “in care” (those cared for by local authorities because their actual parents can’t, won’t or shouldn’t look after them). It is in fact a huge industry of adoption agencies, fostering and a host of schemes to have male “role models” all basically trying to repair the damage done by undermining the ideal of family life. An ideal that actual surveys show is what both young men and women aspire to. If it were the case that “traditional families” are no better than other “family forms” there would be no reason for this huge effort to repair the damage! And of course our prisons, mental health services, youngsters on out of work or mental disability benefits from 18, county lines drugs gangs, neighbourhood gangs and drawn into the grooming gangs show how poor the services are at really repairing the damage. It is the huge “elephant in the room” that family breakdown is corrosive to society as a whole.
