In countries such as India which has a divorce rate as low as 1% and Chile which has a divorce rate of 3% that is possible because in India they choose wisely who they marry because in their religion you have to spend a lot of money on wedding and most of India is below poverty so they cannot afford another wedding, that id why the divorce rate is so low. The main problem to all of this is divorce in general. Overall it affects females more than males. One of the reasons being drug and alcohol addiction while the other reason is to work and earn money so the family won’t starve. On the other hand guys growing up with no dad are more often likely to drop out of school because of a few reasons. This deviant behavior seems to affect females more than males and girls have been shown more likely to develop substance addiction which is a problem in our generation. This affected the mice the same way it would affect a human being which proves that children without a father are more aggressive. They also display signs of violence so they are far more aggressive than mice raised with both parents. Mice raised without a dad show signs of ‘abnormal social interactions’. The main impact is on the part of the brain that controls social and cognitive activity. The brain of the fatherless mice appear to develop differently and work differently as well.

The experiment was carried out on California mice as they are also monogamous and just like humans raise their children together. The experiment was held by Dr.Gabriella Gobbi in McGill University in Canada. There has been research carried out and the results were quite interesting. How we are growing up, who we are growing up with and the experience we get will greatly effect out future. This is why if have picked this specific topic. Another question I wanted to research was whether or not later on in life the children would like to find their father and if it affects one gender more than the other and what is the overall cause of couples splitting in first place. I am also hoping to learn whether it’s a struggle for these kids to then have male friends and whether their opinion on male species changed based on the fact about what their mothers told them or how they find out about what happened to their fathers in the first place. I have been interested in this topic for a while. His cowardly choice allowed me the exposure to many positive influences in my life.I chose this topic because it seemed interesting to me because I’m one of those kids and I don’t think it affected me much but I’m hoping to find out whether it affects others in some way and if it does I want to find out how and if there is more than one way. I wanted to honor her, my Grandpa, and my uncles who were there for me when my dad wasn’t. During the ceremony I had the honor of announcing in front of all of our family and friends that I had officially changed my last name to my mother’s maiden name. My mom re-married to a great guy, and my sisters married men who are great fathers to their children. One of my uncles bought me my first baseball glove, a signed Rickey Henderson glove, yet another opportunity that my dad lost out on. They showed me what a good man should be. With the absence of my dad, I still had many positive male influences in my life including my Grandpa and my uncles. When she went to the store I could always count on her coming home with a pack of baseball cards. She’d even play catch with me in our front yard to get me prepared. My mom never missed one of my baseball games. That’s where I got my set of 1982 Brewers placemats and my set of 1982 Brewers drinking glasses, all of which I still have to this day. We’d often stop off at a McDonald’s in Port Washington on the drive down. I was in awe of Paul Molitor, Robin Yount and Gorman Thomas. County Stadium seemed like a magical place to me as we’d make the drive from Green Bay a couple times a year. My first memories of going to Brewers games were in the early 80s. She also was instrumental in my love for baseball. She worked multiple jobs to provide for us. My mom was left to raise three kids on her own and she did an amazing job. It turns out all of those things weren’t my losses, they were his. He wasn’t around to watch my Little League games. He wasn’t around to buy me my first baseball glove or my first pack of baseball cards. He wasn’t around to take me to baseball games. Father's Day has never meant much to me, because my dad chose to walk out on my mom, sisters & me when I was a kid.
