Absolutely nothing from either of my parents regarding how to find someone with which to form a family

Because it wasn't something that they needed to learn or be taught. It just happened, naturally.

I think about the circumstances that the past 3 generations of my family on my father's side got together and it makes me want to tear my hair out, because those circumstances no longer exist in any form whatsoever.

I saw a remark on twitter about how if they wanted to live like thier grandfather, they'd have to be a millionaire. Boy, did that stick with me...
