Perhaps the most significant change is in society's attitudes towards single-parent families.
There is much less discrimination both in terms of laws and how people view them.
As single-parent families become more common, more and more people will start to view these family arrangements as normal.
With enough community acceptance and support, the negative statistics linking single-parent families to youth crime and delinquency will definitely improve.
Single parents no longer have to fear whether their child(ren) will be treated differently to their peers.
