We don't have enough information to classify this family.
Arrrggghhh!

How do we know that a weak father means a strong mother?

Malevolent means bad, evil. The text hasn't based this description on solid facts.

Second class family could have more than one meaning.

The following is mentioned in the text:
- A father who is considered weak as the mother is the one in charge, leaving the children uncertain about their reactions towards authority figures.
- A malevolent mother who is unstable and conflicts the children's sense of security by sending mixed messages.
- A second class family where the parents are still attached to their original families and fail to give their children a sense of identity.
- An alcoholic father who causes chaos among the children.
