Jane Austen & Parent-Child Relationships Just as there are no two people in this world are exactly the same, the equivalent is true for families. Even though there can be very distinct similarities found, every family is constructed in its own unique manner. They all face their own set of issues, handle problems differently, and interact with one another in many different ways.
