I attended grammar school and high school in the 50's,
and when I look back I only knew one kid who's parents were divorced.
His name was Butch and on one hand I envied him, because he seemed to be able
to do whatever he wanted (his mom worked)
but I also felt sorry for him because it seemed
that most of the time the neighborhood streets were his home!
I guess my point is that divorce and disolution of the family unit were not as common as today!
Good parenting by both parents is really important...IMHO!
Just sharing my personal experience!
