A father-child relationship can be a good thing for some people, and problematic for others. There are different types of fathers. There are fathers who are always around their children, who give unconditional love and guidance. Then there are hard-to-please fathers who drain their children with extremely high expectations, leading to a strained relationship. Moreover, there are fathers who cannot handle the responsibilities that come with fatherhood, this type of fathers walk out on the family when the situation gets tough. Many people see their fathers in one way as a child and grow to see them in a whole different light as adults. The richness and complexity of the child and father relationship are the reason many poets write about fatherhood and fathers.

Reasons for Choosing this Family Joan’s family was selected for this because she has experienced parenting, marriage, and divorced at the tender age of twenty-five. She has also taken on other significant responsibilities such as purchasing a home and a vehicle in addition to raising two children solely on her income. Joan is driven and motivated to pursue and finish her education; rear her children in a stable home environment, despite facing the challenges of single parenting. She does not receive any type of financial spousal or child support from her ex-husband. Joan’s ex-husband is currently employed as a police officer and lives with another woman. The ex-husband rarely interacts with the children; he sees them only when his mother keeps them for Joan. Joan heavily relies on her parents and other family members to assist her with finances and childcare.

Despite being a transitional family, this study found that stepfathers, across the board, positively helped the children under their care. In addition to the research, it was found that the healthier relationship the child shared with the stepfather was largely due to the relationship that already preexisted between the biological mother and child. Also as stated in the research question, it was assumed that child behavior prior to a stepfather moving in would affect the bond between them. This proved to be correct, however, the initial mind set was that depression would drive a wedge between their relationship in actuality it proved to help draw the stepfather and child closer together. The study also encouraged delaying a stepfather joining the household if the child displayed delinquent behavior because it could cause problems between the stepfather and stepchild. Due to past findings, it was believed that girls rather than boys would have more troublesome relationships with their stepfathers. This proved to be true, not just because of gender, but also because girls would hide their depressive

Marriage is no longer an institution that couples need to suffer if times are difficult, divorce is easier and cohabitation is more morally acceptable. The ideology of the nuclear family whilst not outdated is not the only type of family in which to raise children. The modern more complex family arrangements include step families, lone parents, step sibling

There is an increase in the numbers of different family types, be them lone parent families, stepfamilies, cohabiting couples, same sex couples, or children living at home for a longer period. The broad structure of family have complicated relations in some cases, where for example, ex-step-siblings may still be considered as family, which leaves a complex family dynamic. Although the traditional family structure of a nuclear family still remains as the most common family organisation, ‘variation has become a normal part of normal family life for many people in modern Britain’ (SIRC, online: pg.8).

Family Systems and Healthy Development Liberty University Family Systems and Healthy Development In today’s world, families are dynamic and interdependent systems. The developmental processes of the children in the family are deeply affected by how the family system operates. However, a family’s structure does not determine whether it is a healthy family system or not. Today, families consist of single parents, stepparents, divorced parents, remarried parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. They are all able to contribute to a healthy functioning family system by meeting each family member’s needs and encouraging positive communication (Jamiolkowski, 2008).
