I Have Been Raised by a Single Mother Since I Was Five. Do You Think I Will Suffer Any Ill Effects?
Question by Object Of It’s Ire: I have been raised by a single mother since I was five. Do you think I will suffer any ill effects?
My mother, Monique, divorced my father when I was five and we left to live by ourselves. I’m a bit worried by statistics which indicate I am more likely to criminally offend or become violent than someone raised in a two parent family.
But.. I think that’s baloney and that I’ll turn out fine.
Thanks for the support everyone. I ask mostly because of this:

You are right, it is baloney.
If you were raised right, chances are you will turn out all right.
did you know that 99.9% of all people die because they ate carrots.
You can get stats from anything.
Live you life with your heart and your Mom’s mistakes. Try to avoid opinions. Unless they make you feel good.
My parents divorced when I was six…and I’m turning out just fine years later. 😉 Don’t worry about it, all of that *is* a bunch of baloney.
No, not unless you “make it so”, by using it to excuse bad behavior on your part.
Being raised in a single-parent home is MUCH PREFERABLE to being raised in a two-parent home where there is no love: constant fighting, yelling or abuse. It sounds like maybe this is WHY your mama chose to raise you by herself. I think that she loves you very much and has tried her very best to help you grow up “straight and tall”.
Give her a hug from me!

What you are doing is accepting some one elses standards for not accepting responsibility for your actions. You are an adult act like one. I raised 4 children by myself, they were taught only you can be accountable for your actions, not me, not soceity, not anyone else but you. If you don’t do well or have problems it’s because of what you did or did not do, so don’t sit back and blame mom, would you be better off if you had a 2 parent home where one came home drunk and beat the crap out of you and your mom every day. Grow up take responsibility.
Nope, I think you’ll turn out fine. My parents divorced when I was three, I’ve never committed a crime, I have a decent job, I’m no more psychologically messed up than anyone else in this country, I pay my bills, I have a life.
On the other hand, my ex’s parents are still married, no one in the family works, they live off the government, and he has a drinking problem.
I think it has more to do with the type of environment you grow up in. Better to have one good parent than two bad ones. Or one bad one and one miserable one. You’ll be fine.
It was scientifically proved in “The Hite Report on the Family”, that boys raised by a single mother enjoyed more successful relationships with women than boys with a resident father who taught them “how to be men.”
No way and you know it as well.You will do fine and some day make your mother proud of YOU.All the best.
Your mother is to be thanked and you will do fine. The reason you think this is perhaps you feel spoiled and that was me at a young age. This doen’t teach you how to get along with others. But if you had been in the “School of hard knocks” – you will have learned a great deal of appreciating the good.
Yes, it is more likely that you will do those things. It is also more likey that you will be lazy and expect a woman to take care of you. You also might turn out gay –but people seem to call that ‘getting along well with women’! LMAO
Learn from you fathers mistakes and become a good man. You can do it.
There are many children raised by single parents that are just fine. You are a sick person to portray Marc Lepine and try and blame his mother for his actions.
