This Week it was an amazing experience to be in a classroom that brings real world problems to the discussion. It never clicked for me that so many people have changing life experiences that can change the structure of their family. It made a huge impact on me and how I saw other families. I know that many of us can go through events in our life that test and trial, that make us break down and feel like we are running in the dark with no sense of direction. We can be worried about what will happen and how things will change, for the better or for the worst. We may start out to have the best intentions but it doesn't always happen to what we think may be the outcome. I know that these hopes and dreams that we thought could set us free, actually bind us to a new bizarre culture that we aren't use to. This molds our family differently. For example, this week we talked about a family trying to immigrant to the United States from Mexico. We discussed how difficult it would be to get enough money to just send one person ( such as the father, to test the waters). The family may think that it will only take a couple months till they can come join, but on the other hand, it takes years instead. Their whole family system is now upside down because of the changing roles of the parents and the children.
