are the result of a divorce. Her positive view on divorce and her idea of the "family of dolls,"(710) all helps to illustrate her point that there is no perfect family and that the "heads will eventually fall off."(710) She argues that there are benefits, which arise from a divorce, including the addition of family members, the release of a victim from an abusive spouse, and mothers avoiding the uses of drugs to remedy their problems.
