I didn't answer your question because I already answered your question in my original comment. Your response was your own cognitive dissonance.

As for the citations -- http://lmgtfy.com/?q=effects+of+growing+up+without+a+mother

I didn't grow up without a mother. I have an amazing mother who also happened to have a career. She raised me well enough to not turn out like you, and I can only hope to accomplish as much when raising my own children.

I don't see how that answers my question, nor do I see a citation.

Edit: I'd like to point out that my father also had a career. Does that put me at any disadvantage? Did he also do a half assed job raising me?
