Alone Among Families	comment	An orphan, an infertile woman (or man), or any other character missing a family has the isolation emphasized by being surrounded by families. This can be a place with many happy families, even solely occupied by such people in defiance of statistics, or the character's being sharp to notice such things. The family arrangements will naturally parallel those the character feels lacking in: a Lonely Rich Kid sees parents fussing over their only child, a sibling-less orphan sees parents with their children, an only child sees sibling groups, an infertile woman sees parents with newborns, etc. The romantic equivalent is Alone Among the Couples. See also Alone in a Crowd, Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere.

Lane is excited and feels like celebrating, but others are otherwise occupied: Gil makes out with his wife, Zach is surrounded by hot female fans, and Brian is with his family who came to see them play. Lane invited her best friend Rory, but she couldn't come. Lane can't even talk to her family because she moved out of her home against her mother's wishes and without her approval.
