    @Groovy Tony i get what you're asking with this question, but i feel like its morally wrong to say one is worse than the other bcause you're also saying one is better than the other. I know you don't intend to but...

    That would b us judging a person's situation ....and saying how a situation should affect them. I think its too subjective to really say 1 answer would apply to the majority.

    Well you could certainly make the case that one has more chance to affect you worse, psychologically, than the other. I don’t know what statistics are on these two specific issues, but we can use an extreme example like being r---d as a child is more likely to cause you long lasting psychological trauma than being spanked by mum. It’s not judging either child it’s just assessing which problem is more damaging

    Really don't understand how this is a question. An abusive father is obviously worse than a father that isn't there

    Agreeing with the rest of the posters. Abusive is far worse than absent.

    This. And the abuse can leave similar effects to those you love as well.
