According to DeAundray Tolbert of the Hard Life Tribune, he says that growing up in a single parent family you tend to be more worried about what is going on in your life. Those things you focus on also get in the way of your education, your goals and your dreams, one of a child's greatest fears is growing up wondering if their adult life will be the same as mom and dad's relationship? Being exposed to the filth of a breakup or separation leaves a stain on a child's heart and a child who will always wonder if this is the right decision because the child did not have a healthy relationship to reflect on and for some of it. causes them to walk in the same shoes their parents walked in, not being able to commit to a relationship because they feel like all relationships will end the same way their mothers and fathers did. The Census Bureau case study states that for children growing up in single-parent families Black children are at 55%; Hispanic children are at 31%.
