## Resource

Father Paul Sullins joins Teresa Tomeo on Catholic Connection to discuss his groundbreaking research on the emotional impacts of non-traditional family structures on children. Drawing from the largest U. S. health survey, Father Sullins reveals that children raised without both biological parents face significantly higher rates of emotional problems, such as depression and anxiety. He challenges the prevailing belief that family structure doesn't affect child development, emphasizing the importance of male-female complementarity in parenting. The conversation delves into societal pressures, the role of donor conception, and the often-overlooked emotional struggles faced by children in same-sex parent households, urging listeners to reconsider the implications of family dynamics on child well-being.
