See my comments above regarding repeating the same cycle, we're basically thinking the same on this topic. It''s very hard to break mentalities and behavior chains in families, or communities in general. It is the same as when a child grows up in a home with domestic or sexual abuse. Unfortunately, many of them repeat the vile abuse they grew accustomed to, or cling to men or women who inflict it on them. Or, when young girls grow up without fathers and have "daddy" issues later in life. These are documented and well-researched psychological truths. So, people like me that grew up in, and continue to be blessed with such a stable environment in life, have much greater odds of becoming successful...yet I still believe people must take ultimate responsibility and map their own course in life. I've never seen the show "Shameless."
