Broken Families

thank you for replying. you have a good point there. although it is ideal to have both parents available when the child is growing up there are still parents out there who are just bad in raising up kids. although single parenting might work, it would just be really hard to do it alone. plus, there is what we call modeling. a single mother for example cannot be a good male role model on her son since obviously, she is not a male. a male child needs a father or male figure in order to grow up balanced. even if a male person is not around, someone who can be it's equivalent like a grandfather or an uncle is needed.
