what do you think about this in the light of this information
Boys from a fatherless home are:
* 14 times more likely to commit rape
* 10 times more likely to abuse chemicals
85% of all children who exhibit behavioral disorders are from fatherless homes.
90% of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes.
71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes.
63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes.
85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes.
Nearly 75% of children living in one parent families will experience poverty before they turn eleven, compared with 20% of two parent families.
Children from single parent families suffer more psychiatric illness.
These figures await further verification from future research. They need have only a grain of truth in them, however, to be highly disturbing.

Of course I'm not saying All will turn out poorly, just this (fatherless) condition does not help to grow a well adjusted Adult

Many psychiatric conditions are genetic, so it may be that an existing condition in one of the parents caused the break up. In general, I agree with you. Any ideas on what to do about it, send me an e mail. When I finish college, I want to work with the poor and homeless.

that's no longer merely any variety of crime. Fatherless little ones are more beneficial probable to get entangled with gangs because the gang provides them a pseudo-kinfolk and male function fashions. possibilities are intense you do not stay in a community the position gangs are strolling the streets searching for recruits. Plus you probably did have a father figure even if if he wasn't your organic and organic father.

all of those premises are wrong. I am 52..and i did very well..dispite what you claim is an important benifit from a 2 parent home. there are a ton of one parent homes out there in the REAL world doing just fine without a lot of ugliness and negativity directed at them like this. your descriptions are erroneous..and plain not factual at all..theyre made up..a myth..a lie..scare tactics pure and simple..no doubt delivered by a born againer fundamentalist *****le that is so wrong about damn ear everything he cannot even P**P straight.

In my experience this is close to what happens to a higher proportion of children in of single parent households, fatherless more so than motherless.

After living with delinquent and emotionally disturbed kids for over 30 years, I can concur that fatherless boys develop lots of problems, particularly if they have no conventional adult male role models.
