A person who is
related to you by a long series of connections can be called a distant relative.
a close-knit family
If you’re lucky, you have a loving family or a close-knit family – these expressions refer to a family that
has good relationships, where everyone loves each other and helps each other.
carefree childhood
that means you had nothing to worry about
when you were young.
dysfunctional family
a family in which the relationships are bad or unhealthy
If I change my job before one year, that is abuse
to use something for the wrong purpose in a way that is harmful or morally wrong
Most crimes occur when a criminal has a troubled childhood
If the children experience abuse, poverty, or problems with the law, we can say
they had a troubled childhood.
I consider the most separation in Iran to be a bitter divorce
that means a separation in which there were
bad/angry feelings between the husband and wife
When poverty increases, messy divorce occurs
It’s also possible to have a messy divorce, with a
prolonged legal battle involving lots of conflicts about the separation of the former couple’s assets
(money and possessions)
broken home.
A family in which there are divorces or separations is sometimes called a broken home.
Custody of children under 10 years is the responsibility of the mother
Sometimes the mother and father fight over custody of the children – that refers to who has the
primary responsibility of caring for the kids
I think granted joint custody of children cannot use instead of parents
that means the exhusband and ex-wife share the responsibility
For example, a judge
might award sole custody to the mother, and the father has to pay child support – regular payments to
help with expenses for the kids.
sole custody to only one parent
on good terms with each other
(meaning to have a polite
relationship without conflicts
If a woman gets pregnant without being married or in a relationship, then she will become a single
mother
If a woman gets pregnant without being married or in a relationship, then she will become a single

i think single mothers should use adoption instead of abortion
Some women in this situation choose to have an abortion
“əˈbôrSH(ə)n”
the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.
others prefer to give the baby
up for adoption
others prefer to give the baby

the most crucial thing in immigration is an adaptation
the action or process of adapting or being adapted.
It is very dangerous for the life of the baby to set rand time for the due date
The time when the baby is planned to arrive is called the due date – you can also say
the baby is due in mid-October, for example.
After the woman has the baby (or gives birth to the baby), the baby is given to the adoptive parents,
who will raise the child or bring up the child as if it was their own. Sometimes, when the adopted child
is older, he or she tries to find their birth mother (biological mother).
