I guess that the fragmentation of the modern family is just a symptom of our modern society. Teenagers leave home to study, parents retire in the South and kids leave the nest. Families do their own diaspora and end up at the four corners of the state, country or world.

Synchronicity of dreams or how relationships need work

A monster of a post on a Saturday, clocking close to 2000 words.
