A new Ohio State study finds that adult children are more than four times more likely to be estranged from their father rather than their mother.
In the study, 26 percent of adult children reported being estranged from their father. That compares to six percent of adult children who reported being cut off from their mothers.
Daughters were 22 percent more likely than sons to be estranged from their fathers, and slightly less likely to be detached from their mothers.
Black adult children were 27% less likely to be estranged from their mothers than white adult children.
However, Black and Latino adults were more likely to report an estranged relationship with their fathers than white adults.
The study also found that LGBTQIA+ children were no more likely to be estranged from their mothers than heterosexuals. But LGBTQIA+ children were 86 percent more likely to be cut off from fathers.
