The premis seems to be that a divorced non-resident father can have a significant impact on the self esteem and overall wellbeing for their children who are now being raised by a single parent specifically the mother. Naturally this is true, kind of a no-brainer if a non-resident father spends a lot of high quality time with his children, those children gain more perspective on life as a whole. Question: How much of the time NOT spent with the children, or NOT considered quality was because of the teenager in question? You admit in the article that children of divorced parents quickly learn they can manipulate their parents against eachother in multiple household families. What about when the FATHER does not allow the manipulation, and in typical teen fashion the teen denounces the fathers right to parent completely even refusing to communicate at all?
