Fatherless Homes

[dada]

I was coming in late this morning and heard these stats on the radio, blew my mind:

63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes
90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes
85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes
80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes
71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes
75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes
70% of youths in State institutions are from fatherless homes.
85% of rapists motivated by displaced anger are from fatherless homes.
95%of all violent crimes come from individulas from fatherless homes

5 times more likely to commit suicide.
32 times more likely to run away.
20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders.
14 times more likely to commit ****
9 times more likely to drop out of high school.
10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances.
9 times more likely to end up in a state-operated institution.
20 times more likely to end up in prison.



WOW....all I can say is for those who made it against the odds, congratulations. And for the Dads, thanks

Ms. Favpack has gotten me watching John and Kate Plus 8 on Bravo (or TLC). Pretty good show - it's a reality show of two parents who have twins and also septuplets (or whatever six is). Shows the hard work and bonding of a large family.

But, as I was watching last night, I thought....Imagine a young, ill-equipped mom with 2 or 3 kids, and no father around. Not such a pleasant reality show.

That's insane!

And...this list is proof for quite a few of those mothers out there who's children's fathers WANTS and TRIES to be apart of their lives but yet....they do any and everything they can to keep their child's father away from them because they think their child doesn't need them for one reason or another.

Fav...that show was also on last night. I watched it myself, and thought it was pretty cool to see the bond that they have.

:rolleyes: That's a big problem...I have a older brother...48...still at home with Mom and Dad...

And like Matthew said...you have the women who don't want to let fathers be apart of their kids lives. Not bragging or anything, but we are rare....embrace the fact that a man wants to be in his kids lives.

Although I'm one of those young guys who has a daughter that was born out of wedlock, I agree. I learned from that mistake though.

Yep...we all make mistakes...but, it's all about how you bounce back and learn from those mistakes. (NOTE: my daughter is/was not a mistake...just speaking in general.)

[jakerz]

You don't need to be married to raise children properly. A lot of times being apart is what's better for the kids, just keeping in touch and being there is all it takes.
