I have some insight into this scenario, I lost my mom when I was five due to cancer.
In the back of my mind, all the time and everywhere, I patiently yet eagerly wait to "meet" my mom. I hope and pray Heaven will answer my prayers. (song "Angel On My Shoulder" says it well.) No amount of logic or reasoning changes this. I am literally obsessed, I don't really know her.
The situation got more dire for we three kids when second stepmother convinced "dad" we were trash and we were signed-over to the State as unwanted. That was a tough day in court for three nine-to-twelve year old kids who did nothing wrong.
That's what may happen with no genuine mother in the mix. Mother's are the super-glue of a real family, I don't think that will change.
Despite this myself and siblings made lives for ourselves and stayed out of jail, but we were the exceptions of our peers. We should be statistics as well, studies show. Parental love matters.
