It's a little disturbing that being a functional, supportive family is labeled as "privileged."

But I can't argue against the reality that having two parents who stay married, are not abusive to each other or their children, and are generally functional human beings is something of a luxury.

"Functional human being(s)" is the key there. Lots of people who were raised by a single parent, divorced parents or occasionally abusive households turned out fine.
