A broken home is from which someone has had something bad to them happen while with thier family. It could also mean that the family was broken up due to a father or mother leaving them. It has many meanings. A home can be broken up by drugs, cheating parents, rape, molestation, parents that beat thier kids. I came from a broken home. My mom left my dad when i was about 2 years old to go be with another man. He was stuck raising 3 girls all by himself with no help from my mother until I was in 3rd grade. I moved in with her for a little while only to be in another broken home because my step- dad did very dishonest things to me and hit me a lot. I hope I helped ya out!!

The family unit has been split apart, broken. The parents have split and/or divorced. The children are then from a broken home because the family unit is no longer a complete unit. They are separated from their parent(s). There are many reasons for broken homes but the in the end it means the same thing. The children grow up without at least one of their parents in the home in which they live.
Although, I believe that it could also mean that when the members of the home have broken off their relationships with the rest of the family too. Like if the father is an alcoholic, is absent a lot, or completely withdrawn from the other members of the family...this can also lead to broken homes. Even if he never leaves.
Hope this helps to define it for you.

I think a broken home usually means they come from a divorced family. However, there are many people who live in broken homes where the family is still together but they don't function as a family. My parents were divorced after 25 years of marriage, so yes I come from a broken home.

It meanzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz that the roof is broken and the front door is off it hinges and that most of the windows are either cracked or broken. Silly one.....
They proberbly mean that their parents are divorced and they move between parents to keep up family ties, or that their mother or father left the home and did not come back.

A person who comes from a broken home had a bad family life- divorce, alcohol, drugs, abuse, scandal, etc. Just a divorce doesn't really classify a home as broken,

A broken home would be where the parents divorced and one of them moved out.
I did not come from one, but I give my father all the credit for keeping it together.

I think a broken home is when the child's parents get divorced.
Or, when the house where one was born is replaced by a new house or building and the birth-house does not exist any longer.
