With Bones,
what happens in the family
stays in the family.  

You’ll never hear Bones
out on the street babbling
about his family.  

To Bones,
the family circle is sacred.
  

Problems in the family
are solved by the family,
sometimes with the help of
the Church.

Bobby

Thanks DreamerSpirit,

You are correct, the family is sacred.  

If for some reason, a person doesn't have what is commonly know as a family, there is always the all important human family, that every single human belongs to.

I grew up with that family loyalty/smokescreen/fabricated family existance too and I don't believe that all that happens in a family should stay in a family.

Hopefully, the family priest helped.

Thanks dear Alison,

That's too bad.  Not all families work well.  Mother and I got along very well.

Love Bobby
