I am interested in seeing how the numbers are in other countries. To get a cultural perspective. In the US, divorce rates are 60% and people are "proud of it". I personally think our society has decayed - it doesn't matter if it single mom or single dad, you NEED BOTH, and preferably grandparents, cousins etc.
Our society has become uncommitted these days. It's our culture. We need to take responsibility and accountability for ourselves. Don't have kids if you can't/won't commit, don't get married if you can't/won't commit. We are way too "me oriented" and selfish. These statistics sound about right to me and does not surprise me one bit.
This is not a dad or mom issue, it's a dad&mom issue.
I'm sure there are plenty of people who "have a friend raised by a single-parent and is the most well-adjusted out of all of us" or think there is some axe to grind. But I think that misses the larger issue. The decay and breakdown of the family in our society.
