Self-hating B and jw touch on interesting deeper questions. I read years ago that there was a measurable difference on some measure between children who had lost their fathers to divorce vs death. I can’t find it, and have no idea whether it is actually true.

I recall reading the same study. I think it was late 70′s, ’80 at the latest. It is a subject of meaning to me as my father died when I was 12. I recall it stating children who lost their father’s to death faired better than children whose parents divorced. My father’s death was very devestating. I’m grateful to have a wonderful husband, who is a wonderful father, to our daughter’s and our son’s.
