Not all children are doomed to poverty with a single parent. My father was an alcoholic low life who, thankfully, left when I was 3 even though my mother did not divorce him for years because of the stupid divorcee stigma of that era. My mother was a strong professional woman who got a good job and supported us. She paid for my college education, bought a house, travelled and went on to build a damn good life for us. I now live in TV and certainly do not live in poverty.
