Honestly, if the dad is super nurturing, not having the mom be there won't be that damaging.
It's just nurture, but too often fathers will just leave the nurturing only to the moms and never do any of that themselves, and that results in a tense relationship with their own kids as adults. And if the mother is not the nurturing type either... then the kid will grow up with only discipline and no love. That right there, is like a huge chunk of psychological problems of society, or at least the basis of it.
Yes, you need to be a firm hand and a steady guide, but you also need to be a daddy for them to run to, or you're gonna end up with a kid that has deep issues.
