Most of the time, but not all the time. If you're an only child and your grandparents are dead, your parents are dead, and they too didn't have any brothers or sisters, or they were on bad terms with them, then you've probably got no social net whatsoever. And some people are orphans. People with large families don't often realise how difficult life can be for people with small families or no family.
