Is There a Grounding for Identity?

For thousands of years, our earliest experience of identity was in multi-generational families. We had to find a new way to define who we are now that family is no longer provided the grounding for identity. The only alternative path at this point is to encourage both fathers and mothers to put the family at the center of their identities so that their children can do the same. A son or daughter can only experience sonship or daughterhood to the extent that a father or mother is embracing their father or their motherhood.
