My parents divorced when I was 5, and my dad got custody, thank god. He's always been an amazing dad, and I'm so lucky to have him. I am, however, motherless - I even went to court and had her parental rights removed, so it's official. She had/has some kind of undiagnosed mental illness, and she never was very interested in being a mother anyway. I don't have any positive memories of her. Dad, on the other hand, makes wonderful new memories almost every day. :) I love living in a home where bursting into song is always an appropriate action.
