I think it depends on the gender of the child and the quality of the parent. In some cases it's better the parent is gone.

From my experience, a mother.
Many men can father children but it takes a really good guy to deserve to be called Dad.

Growing up with neither, but I honestly wish I had a mother.

I depends on the child...
I think that if you look a the stereo typical roles....
It is easier for a child to grow up with a father...
A stereo-typical father is gone to work many days/hours providing for his family
While as a S.T. mother is there getting kids ready for this or that...doing homework...cooking cleaning...changing butta...wiping noses..easing aches and pains..
But in reality....it is harder on girls for the dad to not be around....they lose that sense of a strong male figure...the protector
And for boys that grow up with the mom not around are i believe not as sensitive to a females emotions or as kind and/or caring....
But as with everything there are ALWAYS exceptions to this...
Dad can raise sensitive sons and or strong daughters just as moms can raise well rounded children....
And as another comment stated....Sometimes it is best for every especially the child if one parent is completely gone

Growing up without any parents is better than growing up with abusive and neglectful ones. At least I think it would've been better.

I grew up without a Dad fine. I couldnt imagine life without my Mum... My experience is boys raised without Dad's are usually more tuned into what it means to be a woman- they understand a lot more work/life/home balance and are more empathetic. So I would say its harder to be without a mother, also as that incidence is less common it could potentially make the child insular and feel abnormal.

Both are equally relevant in the child's life and without one, there will be a major gap in the child's life.

Depends, which parent the child has a deeper attachment with?
