What are the affects of children without moms?
Answer:
I can only tell you my experiences, but I hope they're helpful.
I was ten when my mom walked out on us while my dad was struggling with Cancer. I had three older siblings, two younger. My older siblings were out of the house and all in school so it was basically just myself and my dad raising the twins and I think we're all fine. Dad was always willing to talk about our mom if we wanted, but he never forced it on us, never came across as being bitter at all. I have no feelings for her. Not love, not hatred, just a common understanding of what she did and why she said she did it (she was "too young for kids" lol).
I'm thirty now, very happily married for eight years, I have the two greatest kids in the world. I own a fun business, I think I'm totally stable and I'm sure I'm a good parent.
And the twins are both getting PHD's in psychology.
So...take from this what you will, I'm a firm believer that environment does have a huge role to play in how a child is affected by an absent parent.
They will always have a desire to have known her.who wouldn't ??
Love is the answer to all.and can overcome the worst of situations.
Write that in your speech and be glad you said it.
being independent
being better parents
getting into trouble with authorities
jail
drug & alcohol use
That depends on a lot of things- what do you mean without moms?
There are children who live only with their father's, children adopted by gay couples, children who are taken because their mothers are unfit. The situation involved with change the answer.
Also, it's important to know the sex of the child and if they had any other female role models. A girl without a mother and without a mother-figure might revert to a tom-boy attitude (if raised by males) or might take the personality of popular females (women she sees on T.V. or in movies, which in this day-and-age isn't the best thing to be doing)
For boys raised by men, they may have trouble expressing their emotions (generally moms deal with emotional needs) If they don't see their fathers interact with other women, they might not know how to treat women when they get older.
It depends on the child and the circumstances of why the mother is not present. I grew up without my mom and even though I wish I would have known her (she died when I was a year old) the only thing I feel affected by is the fact that I could not talk with her about important events of my life and ask for her counsel. I am married now and I have two kids and I wish she would be alive to see how happy I am.
on a more personal note, i've noticed that a friend whose mom passed away at 10 (he's now 21) developed rather severe psychological issues. he has been clinically diagnosed to suffer from bipolar/ manic depression. he's been seeing a psychologist since she passed away. he has trouble maintaining relationships and feels lost all the time. i think there is a lack of the kind of constance only a mother can provide... like the one place you know you can always turn to. my boyfriend lost his mom as an adult but he remained depressed for quite a while. i guess you're never too old to lose a mom.
well, my hubby's mom left him and his three younger siblings when they were all under 6 years old. they probably would have turned out ok, except for their dad was an alcoholic and had no idea on how to raise children. the pretty much grew up on the streets and knew more about life at 12 than most people do at 30. they did spend some time in foster care.
kids with out moms
I have read some of the other answers here. All sound so bad and very dark for the poor children. My Ex walked out on our kids when they were 10 and 8. They are now 20 and 18. One is at UNC the other is going into the Navy
My son was torn by this he was 8 and never truly knew he mother( this is how he states it MOTHER never mom) She step back into our lives 2years ago and he wanted to be with her so I let him go after a big fight. He did see her true self with in a year and came back home.
For my girl. it was not as hard on her, but she never had a mom to teach her how to be a women(Hair makeup so on) There is so much i could go into but no time.
The one thing is Kids with out moms do grow up and are fine heathy men and women.
