The way you write about your friend's family doesn't seem like problems unique to hippie families, blood siblings don't necessarily get along either and parents argue all the time. I'm trying to think of a family arrangement that doesn't have culty elements, but it's hard, and it's not like the nuclear family is an exception. When children are involved everything has extra weight.

There probably isn't a one size fits all solution. Kids can be victimized by pretty much anyone that wants to, they're weak and dumb.
