Single Parents Households Without Contact of Other Parent Can Hinder Child's Success

Studies show that children who grow up in single-parent households, with little or no contact with the other parent, tend to have more emotional and psychological difficulties as children and as adults, and can have a much harder road to becoming successful, productive, happy adults. Obviously, this is not the case for all children of single parents, our current president being a shining example. He had to go through a significant psychological struggle as a teen and young adult to get where he is today, as portrayed in his autobiographical books. It is an established fact that a child who has a good relationship with both parents after they separate, has greatly increased odds of enjoying long-term psychological health, and success in life as an adult.
