To be honest and this goes for a lot of societal issues, I believe it is not increasing but rather we are just more open about it now. When I hear about family problems back then it was even crazier because anything was tolerated. No matter how toxic and unloving the family was, they stay together because they really had no choice. A broken family was very unorthodox so it was seen as a disgrace.
But now couples do not even get married even after having a child together. Divorce is now legalized in most countries. A lot of things have changed and society has deemed a lot of things acceptable that is why I think it seems as though families were better before than they are now but in reality, this generation are just more open, honest and decisive about what they want for their lives.
As we have been observing in the past days, it can be understood that our family problems are mainly created from social problems. But we don't realize that many times, our family problems originate from social problems.
