Where are our elderly family members, parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles gone, and yes a few hearty wholesome, wise and heroic role models chucked in for good measure?

Who is there in society to lead our children down the healthy and righteous path of life; one of family unity, love, compassion for others, happiness, financial ease, creativity and abundance?

With our families being allowed to be carved up on a daily basis our children barely have anything to gnaw upon, save for a rock hard and tasteless bone, from which they cannot be nourished and grow into adulthood in readiness to carry their share of the evolutionary cycle; enhancing all aspects of human development toward a brighter life for all our future 2 legged creations of love.

If blood is thicker than water, then why can it be so easily sliced up?

Every individual and society as a whole must be questioning what is happening; why are we in the western world allowing the destruction of families and the promotion of individualism?

You may like to ask yourself which individuals are really being served?

Almost every time a Separation or Divorce happens, the family is torn apart, dividing family assets, resources, support and almost everything good needed for a trouble free life, for children and parents alike. Not for just one generation, but for many generations to come.

For the past 30 or so years Mums were fairly secure in the fact that they would be the primary carer of their offspring after a Separation or Divorce, however things are rapidly changing where both Mums and Dads are now in fear of losing their children to a greedy and hungry system of systems that wants every child to be hooked up into, reliant and sucking upon the nipples of business, government and economic systems of all types and persuasions for their nourishment, support, guidance and wisdom.

So where have we gone wrong? Why are we embarking down this path of destruction? Or is this ok?

Who is behind this agenda of family division, making life for a whole lot of families more difficult, if not almost near impossible to live a full, carefree and exciting life?

Why isn't keeping marriage and family together promoted and marketed more positively than it currently is?

So if family is important what can we do to respawn and foster a culture of family togetherness and bonding, eliminating the nasties so often attributed to Separation and Divorce?

What really ever happened to the so important marriage vows of honour and commitment?

"to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

Are these vows simply lip service that really mean nothing at the first sign of trouble or desire for something different, regardless of the effect on our children, or others?

Who are our our elders in society and what are they doing to address this issue?

Are they asleep at the wheel or simply don't care?

With love, kindness and concern
