You have a friend who is a single, divorced parent. She has a four year old son for whom she has sole custody. In conversation with her one day she comments that
she is sorry her son will not grow up in a "real family". What can you share with her
about the difference between form and function of families that will be supportive
of her current situation? What 3 functions of a family can you point out to her that
she provides for her son and give her fictional (made-up) examples?
