The children of lovers (and workaholics and narcissists) are orphans

Ways With Words: Judy Golding’s memoir 'fuelled by anger' - Telegraph: "Golding and his wife, Ann, were devoted to one another - to the exclusion of Judy and her brother, David. The title of the memoir is taken from the proverb ‘the children of lovers are orphans’." Yep. Wherefore the nuclear family is a disaster if it is seen as the foundation of community. Community, as Jesus said, is people who believe in the same way of living more or less - tolerant, helpful, democratic, not idolatrous - that sort of thing. A culture without this understanding is disaster on steroids.
