#1 The tale of Angela and her sisters is a prime example of the impact of childhood on family life. Angela was born after her parents had been married for two years. Her sister Gwen was two years old when the marriage ended, and Angela saw little of her father after that. When she was five years old, her mother married a colleague at work, and by the time Angela was in high school her mother was divorced and remarried. The girls were attached to their stepfather, who was always around and involved in their lives. -> The impact of childhood on family life is clear in the story of Angela and her sisters. When she was five years old, her mother married a colleague at work, and by the time Angela was in high school, her mother was divorced and remarried.

#3 Family life is a universal human experience, and no two individuals share the exact same experience.
