I lived with my mom until I was 12 at which time I decided to go live with my dad. I had a much more structured and disciplined environment. The reason I chose to go with my dad were dumb kid reasons. He had a house, so much more space then the small cramped apartment, more things to do that interested me, my 2 half sisters were there (not a dumb reason. lol).
Anyway, my point is that I can look back and see first hand how having a father in the house makes a big difference. At least for me, but I would imagine this is more of a normal human family structure thing.
Was your father "exceptionally motivated" to be a good parent, as the reporter in the link suggests fathers who want custody often are?
