What am I supposed to do with a positive anecdote? Good thing it worked out for them in the end but it is not representative.
Of students in grades 1 through 12, 39 percent (17.7 million) live in homes absent their biological fathers.
In 2011, children living in female-headed homes with no spouse present had a poverty rate of 47.6%. This is over four times the rate for children living in married couple families.
57.6% of black children, 31.2% of Hispanic children, and 20.7% of white children are living absent their biological fathers.
