All children know they have a father and a mother. Not living with one of the parents leads to psychological issues such as the feeling of abandonment. There plenty of studies showing that children with a parent who has passed away have less psychological burden than children living with one parent - losing a parent to death has been common in our history, so, it's something that we're adapted to. Divorce or not having a parent is a relatively new phenomenon.

I've heard that back in Soviet Russia, single moms lied to their children that their father has died in the WWII.

Oh, there are no abusive single parents?! Parental abuse is extremely rare.

you flipping...please links to support your delusions...maybe parental abuse is extremely rare because those abusive parents left their children?...you logic doesnt add up

They are in the The Longevity Project by UC at Riverside. Assuming that normal families are abusive families sounds like like a lame joke!
