My Family

My family would be considered a single-parent family. My parents are divorced and I live with my mom majority of the time. My family would also be a matriarchal family because my mom holds most of the authority and makes the decisions. I would also say my family is matrilocality because we live near my mom's side of the family. I am also very close to my extended family and I see them all the time! I think all families are unique and they don't need to fit the expectations of the "perfect american family."
