The "Suicide Rate" without the Father

Three out of four teenage suicides occur in households where a parent has been absent. --Source: Elshtain, Jean Bethke."Family Matters: The Plight of America's Children." The Christian Century (July 1993): 14-21.

Again you see today the number of children, teens, and young adults commit suicide due to some chronic depression issues that can come from not having the other parent around to help, lead, and direct them and a time of need.
