3192-417: A simple opera note to crack the moonstones, sending Zemo into a whirlwind of cosmic time/space.

3325-666: A single parent family is strongly correlated with school failure and problems of delinquency, drug use, teenage pregnancies , poverty, and welfare dependency in the United States. Using multilevel modelling, Suet-Ling Pong has shown that a high proportion of American children from single parent families perform poorly on mathematics and reading achievement tests. In Sweden, Emma Fransson et al. have shown that children living with one single parent have worse well-being in terms of physical health behavior, mental health, peer friendships, bullying, cultural activities, sports, and family relationships, compared to children from intact families. As

3458-429: A single parent, leaving it even more difficult to come out of the poverty cycle. The gender of the baby seems to have no effect if the father is not living with the mother at the time of the birth, meaning they are still likely to leave after one year of the child's birth.

The Thunderbolts were upset with Hawkeye, but, on unmasking Monroe, decided that confronting Gyrich

3857-502: A trigger for mental health issues in single mothers. They are especially at risk for having higher levels of depressive symptoms. Studies from the 1970s showed that single mothers who are not financially stable are more likely to experience depression.

Inadequate access to mental health care services

This conflicted with her naturally amoral personality, and slowly made her insane. The Thunderbolts faced many more challenges. Henry Gyrich sought to destroy

4123-644: A woman. Single-parent households are on average much poorer, a pattern largely explained by the lack of a second source of income in the home itself.

4788-623: Is due to stigma disabilities have carried in South African society and the blame placed upon the women for having a child with a disability. In the United Kingdom , about 1 out of 4 families with dependent children are single-parent families, 8 to 11 percent of which have a male single-parent. UK poverty figures show that 52% of single parent families are below the Government-defined poverty line (after housing costs). Single parents in

4921-411: Is far less common. After a certain "crisis period," most children resume normal development; however, their future relationships are often affected, as they lack a model upon which to base a healthy long-term relationship.

5320-409: Is more widely used. The perception of single mothers within South African society varies depending on the cause of their situation. Women whose husbands died are not typically judged in the same way as divorced, separated, or unmarried women. Within South African media, the idea that unmarried women may seek to become pregnant in order to access child benefits is a common one. To avoid social stigma,

5453-400: Is on the verge of burning O'Grady's face with the Ant-Man suit's jet boosters, Iron Man arrives and subdues Carson.

Zemo then informed Songbird that in

6384-510: The 17th and 18th centuries at least one-third of children lost one of their parents during childhood; in 19th-century Milan , about half of all children lost at least one parent by age 20; in 19th-century China , almost one-third of boys had lost one parent or both by the age of 15.

While doing so, he hopes that he can be

6650-493: The Ant-Man suit in the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. A man of very few morals with a willingness to lie, cheat, steal and manipulate in order to get ahead in life, O'Grady immediately steals the Ant-Man suit for his own selfish plans, which include using his status as a "super-hero" to stalk women and facilitate his thievery.
