-
When the mother and father begin to argue and fight about parental involvement, the children are the ones who suffer. The issue then becomes the argument, and the needs of the children are dismissed and forgotten.
Parental conflict creates father absence which has a devastating effect on children. Fatherless children are twice as likely to dropout of school, they consistently score lower than average in reading and math, and they are eleven times more likely to exhibit violent behavior.
