Is misunderstanding a cause of having a broken family?

Answer 1

Yes, misunderstandings in a family (lack of communication skills) can cause a broken family, but here are some other reasons: * A member of the family may be into drugs or alcohol abuse and the family is divided as to how to handle it. * A wayward teen that is causing problems in the family can also divide that family. * Sexual abuse * Physical or mental abuse (hitting a person or playing head games.) * The couple falls out of love. It can happen. * One parent, the other or both could have cheated. * Desertion from one or both parents leaving the children on their own. * Separation or divorce of the parents. * Death of a parent or both parents. * Fighting over Wills. * Fighting over property, money. * Most families have one or two relatives they don't get along with and it can cause a problem between the two parents or even possibly the siblings in the family. * The mother does most of the work and gets little support from her husband or children (when they are old enough to do chores.) Days to years of this are enough to drive many women into a rubber room. * Women who do not act as a wife or take care of the children and home. * Being unappreciated. * The lack of trust. * The lack of love. * The lack of encouraging each other to be the best they can be. * The lack of quality time within the family core.
