Want to join my compound?
Should I move to a compound and engage a large family structure? NPR had a feature this weekend that this is a cool new concept and that the dyadic family structure is outmoded.
Yes…I should consider it.
It's a shame that NPR doesn't have a fact checking dept, which leaves them open to big dumb generalizations like this. Even in the puritanical US, this is a very old concept. The US has a long tradition of utopian family communities…never mind the cults. Fundamentalism breeds polygamy. Google "Fourier." Google federal troops in southern Utah.
Me? Personally I long for the intimacy of a dependable partner and primary friend. I falsely believed I had that for a long time and now that I understand my marriage was a fraud all along I feel like a lung got ripped out…I can't imagine being whole without a loving primary partner. I'm 69 and haven't had one. I hope the universe provides in the shortish time I have remaining.
I'm not needy! No, no not me! Even Ceci, my cat, will go along… 🐈⬛
