You can have a family and feel lonely. Most of us associate home with the family, a safe place, full of warmth and love. Unfortunately, as it turns out, it is not always so. Changes occurring in the world today are linked to the transformation of the family. Parents focus on paid work, career, consumerism, pushing offspring to the second place . Children left to themselves, deprived of affection, interest, care- more often feel lonely and „hungry” of affection and love. This phenomenon occurs not only in pathological families, but also increasingly in the so-called normal families.
