My parents were divorced when I was very young and I became a heroin addict at the age of 17. Should I now blame my parents-or should I blame myself for being a stupid fool with no self-control? At one time I actually blamed it on 'the 60's' until I met the person who first turned me on to drugs-he was staring at me in my mirror.

I think it's best for everyone to take responsibility for what he or she does. But there's no denying that it much more LIKELY that a child in a single-parent home will engage in more destructive and self-destructive behavior than a child from an intact family. That's just the plain truth. Evidently it is easier for kids to do well when they have all the resources (not so much financial as emotional) that being raised with two parents in the home provides them.
