I Have Been Raised by a Single Mother Since I Was Five. Do You Think I Will Suffer Any Ill Effects?

Question by Object Of It’s Ire: I have been raised by a single mother since I was five. Do you think I will suffer any ill effects?
My mother, Monique, divorced my father when I was five and we left to live by ourselves. I’m a bit worried by statistics which indicate I am more likely to criminally offend or become violent than someone raised in a two parent family.

But.. I think that’s baloney and that I’ll turn out fine.
Thanks for the support everyone. I ask mostly because of this:
