Sorry I'm not very good at keeping up with this already, I'll work on it! I pinky promise:) One thing that I found super interesting this last week though when we were talking about trends was how people think that because divorce rates have gone down some, that that means less families are being broken up. This in fact is very false. The truth of it all is that cohabitation has gone up, and while these people may not be married, many of them have children together. Statistics show that the risk of the family being torn apart is more than doubled by the time that their child is of the age of 12. That is insane!! So even though divorce rates have gone down since the 80's, families are still being broken, and maybe even more than there were before.
