Its possible, you just have to be willing to make sacrifices.
Those arent being made, so they have to live at their parents.

Sorry for the question, but I can't help it.
What if one happens to be born in a not-so-awesome family? How can family help with healing if family is oftentimes what is making one sick?
Yes, family is part of the so called natural order, but some families are far from ideal, and are a source of sickness, not healing. Do you have something to tell to those cases?

Unfortunately, I am not a social therapist, and I myself have experienced many a difficult situation in my childhood and family, but I see no other way than a return to family structures, healthy communities and more social contact between families. Maybe that's the solution? There will always be problem families, but their number decreases when the economic environment is healthy

I was just thinking that the family started to be destroyed a century ago or so. How can conservatives speak about 'family' when a regular kid spends 6-8 hours a day learning mostly useless stuff and being indoctrinated at school, plus the time spent going and coming, then ~2 hours a day of extracurricular activities, plus another 2 hours of homework and the only interactions with parents are talking about your 'progress' at school and then 'it's time to brush your teeth and go to sleep'?
The current state of society is the result of what has been built during many decades. Maybe the wokies are just finishing the job so that real families (not the fake version promoted by traditionalists) can be reborn from the ashes. Burn it to the ground. Creative destruction, they say.

I remember that more than 25 years ago I wrote a major paper at university on the subject of the decline of the family and the rise of social insurance. The thesis was that social insurance actually wanted to compensate for the mental and caring tasks of the family and in this way destroyed this fundamental structure.
