Perhaps it is not the quantity, but the quality.

I see a lot of families that I think the kids would be better off if the parents divorced.

Depends on the single parent. My sister raised her daughter alone & she turned out to be a fabulous, kind, well adjusted person.

Not ideal, but certainly works for many, especially if there is good family support.

It can also be inhealthy for a child to be raised by two parents. It depends upon the situationa and the parent(s).
