divorce cake

What effects would divorce and a bad father have on a child later in life? The divorce would be pretty be average by today's standards, but the father issue is the biggest issue. Say post divorce the father became disconnected with his kid(s) and pursued various relationships with younger women placing those and work before his family. What effect might this have on the child(ren) later in life say when they are 18+?

It's a good question but honestly I think there are too many factors to consider to make any kind of prediction. You could however take someone who has been through those things and use that to figure out what makes them tick now.
