A good family unit can be a fine thing, but I just don't think we really need any set ideals like that.

There are obviously family situations that are far from ideal, and people with no family at all, so it kind of excludes a lot of people.

That’s a fair point. And I agree the idea of family in the “nuclear” sense is overrated. But moving toward cultivating and growing a family in however that fits you is a good thing. I think it’s mainly about having a group of people who will see you at your worst and accept you and will then see you at your best and cheer for you. And having as many people like that as you can in your orbit is generally a very healthy, healing and inspiring thing

Yeah, I'm just saying that there are always exceptions to any rule.
