Single mothers

 Many stories on the news detail the struggles of single mothers to raise their children in families of two or three or six. The stories describe their difficulty paying rent, putting food on the table, making ends meet on minimum wage, finding childcare and navigating government regulations.

What these stories never reveal, and what I want to know is: Where are the fathers? How are the men who created these families helping support these families? Why are there so many absent fathers? Why has the nuclear family failed to widely in our society?
