This isn't exactly new but yes the numbers of single parents are increasing. I didn't read the numbers my apologies but honestly I wouldn't need to living in the city I reside in...the evidence is just there.

What happened?

No one can definitively say what caused such change but I would tend to argue that traditional family values have been compromised by media and ideology. The influence of both premises' can in my opinion have a great impact on society and way of life.

Is that the reason? More than likely but if it isn't then I would like to know because you're statement is an actuality that didn't just pop up out of nowhere...for no reason or without cause.

This is what worries me. Not the fact that we need Adam and Eve and Adam and Steve can't be just as good, given some effort... 

If people see me as traditional then so be it. I don't recognize with any party or consider myself conservative...although I may appear that way. With that said...speaking subjectively...I'm not in favor of any form of parenting that defects from mother and father relationship. I wouldn't even be as supportive if say the mother had to raise the child without the father due to tragic events (ie father lost in war) or vice versa...and the child is left with any other type of legal parent. However, I'm not exactly against it. 

 

Because I don't know what benefits or set backs can arise from those situations. I grew up in a house with a step father who was of latin decent. Me being caucasian..it was difficult at times. Culturally speaking and how it was viewed in society. 

 

My step father was also abusive to both me and my mother. That didn't help. But I'm sure there are plenty of same sex marriages that have raised children just as well... if not better than...some opposite sex parents... given all factors in consideration.
