hit the nail on the head. i often see the nuclear family brought up as the solution for all types of things. particularly producing better fathers of the future(false)

it's their cowardly thinking, because it's easier to punch down and blame the victim than to stand back and look at the system.

This nuclear family ideal always seemed like an oversimplification of the ills of the community. Great job parsing out details and facts that provide necessary nuance to the discussion.
