I'd have to agree with you. If there is a strong family bond, I think the support can be helpful (though I could see instances where the family involvement could be harmful) to a M.
I think the only reason that I've seen my WW as much as I have during our separation is because of my in-laws and my WW's siblings. I see them, so I see her (and I can try to Plan A then.)
I think family is an important part of a M. I think kids are important too.
I don't have kids but am glad at least have a strong family bond with my in-laws.
