ARTICLE: Sudden Divorce Syndrome for Men

[sgctxok]

I have been a single mom since 1994. (Came on the board for a later relationship)...I have known a few single dads....and they are amazing. In my world, the single dads with custody have calmer households, happier kids...than the ones with single mothers with the dads gone AWOL. Even when the mothers went AWOL. I would not have expected that. But it is what I have experienced with several data points in each scenario.

The MOST well adjusted kids have had both parents right in there with them.

From what I've seen, the kids with the worst time have gone between both parents.

So in order....and only my own experience:

Best to worst:

B oth parents
Joint custody getting along
Dad with Custody
Mom with Custody
Joint custody not getting along
One with custody but visitation split abo ut half and half




This is not a scientific study, just 13 years my own experience.
