I have a close friend that I talked about these with and I had no idea at the time but his childhood was abysmal, he went through the “paces” list and if not for him pretty much checking every box there he said he probably wouldnt be alive today. This is such a better way to view it! Many scholars have long been criticizing the framing and methods of the plethora of “single moms are bad” studies.

Those scholars (edit: IMHO) need to look at the difference between well-adjusted two-parent households, well-adjusted single-parent households, dysfunctional two-parent house holds and dysfunctional single-parent households if they really want to get to the bottom of things.
