Id say this is probably quite true, in my own life I excelled in school until my parents divorced. But that could be coincidental, since they divorced when I was 13 and had just started experimenting with partying lol
sounds a lot like many of my friends growing up. parental split frequently led to trouble. then there were the ones who didnt even know who daddy was cuz he split right quick. A few made it fine but many did not and its sad since they didnt even get a fair shake about it.
The ones that did tended to find father figure(s) either through sports or another family member. For males at least this seems to be a key positive factor.
