Single Mothers, Absent Fathers, The Truth We Avoid.

Host LaFortune dismantles the harmful myth that single motherhood causes troubled children and shows how blaming moms ignores systemic issues like poverty, trauma, absent fathers, mass incarceration, underfunded schools, and lack of mental-health resources. The episode outlines what children really need—stability, emotional safety, mentorship, accountability from all adults, and community support—and honors the resilience of single parents who raise thriving kids despite enormous obstacles.
