The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an American reality Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among American groups
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current
American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home Of the final one, about 20 percent
of the total number of American households is single people, usually women over sixty-five years old A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together, and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one
