my parents divorced when I was 5 and I was raised by my mom. my dad wasn't really in my life and I didn't get to know him until about 5 years ago and I found out I wasn't missing anything. My dad was a borderline alcholic and a compulsive gambler and I can say my life ( while at times hard - we were very poor growing up with my mom raising my brother and I) was much better with one parent that loved me instead of two parents that were constatnly fighting and having troubles.
I'm sure I missed things though that regular families have. My brother is married with 3 kids and is a great dad.
