Most times the absence of a parent be it the mum or dad most times affect the children, but either ways up bringing matters alot too, because i have also seen a lot of people with both parents but still have the most smelly characters but it also doesn’t justify the fact having just one parent is good, infact it weighs the other parent down, even if most of them don’t get to share their story that much just so they don’t look or sound weak, it sure definitely affects. One parent trying to be both father and mother is not an easy task to do, having two parents do their separate task is not even easy talkmore of having one parent do everything.
If a child has just one parents then there’s is alot of work to do for the available parent, most of the kids with one parent get to face their peers everyday with sometimes shame, tantrums are being thrown at them, insults here and there, most of the children sometimes don’t function well at school activities, especially when it involves them to bring the particular parent that’s unavailable, every child loves to have the presence of both parent available, thats why most of them find it difficult to forgive the parent thats leaves them at a tender age.
I have a friend thats all grown up but he would always say that he doesn’t have a mother, infact he blocked his mother’s call line just because she was unavailable when he was younger, he lived with his grandmother and he took the grandmother to be his mother untill she passed away, there are alot of effects without having a particular parent around, take for example mothers are the ones to do most of the advising and teaching the children basic home chores, and when this type of mother is unavailable in the childs life, it takes the Grace of God for the child to learn such things from outsiders, or lets say the father of a particular child/children is unavailable, I believe the mother would barely have time to advice or even teach them homely duties because she has alot thinking to do, how to make money to pay the bills, how to run profitable businesses that would help sort out every billing.
To me having just a single parent is not such a good thing because this would be both affect the child and the other parent, let me quickly share a real life story, my family has a family friend who gave birth for one of my distant cousin, they did court marriage and after a short period of time the marriage crashed, they went their separate ways, the girl has been struggling since then and the man wanted the custody of the child so she agreed, after some years, she regretted giving her child to the father becaue the child was barely taking care of, the girl in question at a time fell sick and was mentally going nuts because of overthinking and stress, but thank God she is well now and trying to put her life back in other, the child was taken to her mothers place where they had incident of fire and everything got burnt including the childs clothes, now I say to myself if the both parents were together just like then, all these things wouldn’t have happened.
So my readers I tell you for a fact that its not just about upbring, each parents have their specific role to play so when one parent is absent it out weighs the other parent, and most times everything comes crashing and in most cases it takes a long time to heal and to be stable.
