Line 38:
* Brock's mother Lola in ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' was said to have left their family ([[Dub Induced Plot Hole|or dead in the American translation]]), but later returned.
** Jessie's mom Miyamoto went missing on an expedition to find Mew.
* Quint, the mother of Subaru and Ginga Nakajima in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', was an [[Action Mom]] who was killed during a secret mission. Her death didn't seem to affect them in a negative way, and they remember her quite fondly. ''Nanoha'' is much more notable for ''[[
* Nadeshiko in ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' died when Sakura was three years old. Like in the ''Nanoha'' example, there doesn't seem to be any negative repercussions and her presence can still be felt in the series... sometimes literally, since she visits her family every so often as a ghost.
* In ''[[Lucky Star]]'', Konata's [[Ill Girl]] mother Kanata died when Konata was very young, forcing her [[Otaku]] father to raise her on his own. An episode has her visiting her family as a ghost... which causes much terror for Konata and her father when she secretly joins in on a picture. [[Hilarity Ensues]], in a genuine way.
Line 183:
** ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'': Lewis' mother left him in an orphanage. His desire to discover her drives most of the story.
** ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'' is a [[Artificial Human|wooden puppet]] created by Gepetto BEFORE becoming a "real boy". As such, no mom ever existed. The closest to a mother would be the Blue Fairy, who gave him life with her magic.
** ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]'' is taken care of by her [[Wicked Stepmother|step-mother]]. It is unclear what happened to her parents.
*** Snow White's mother, the Good Queen, probably died during the childbirth, and her father, the King? The Evil Queen probably killed him.
** Mowgli from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' is a feral child [[Raised by Wolves|raised by... wolves]]. Since he was found abandoned in a wrecked boat, it can be assumed his parents are dead.
Line 402:
* Two ''[[Ghostwriter]]'' team members have missing moms. Lenni's mom died when she was little and Rob only lives with his dad.
* The main characters' mother in ''[[Charmed]]'' was drowned by a Warlock when they were very young. Prue saw her die, Phoebe was too young to remember her at all, and Paige never knew her since she was raised by [[Muggle Foster Parents]]. They meet her in the past and some episodes feature her as a [[Spirit Advisor]], though.
* On ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'', it's eventually established that Hawkeye's mother died when he was ten (although, in one of several [[Series Continuity Error|continuity error]]s on the show, an early episode has him mention her as if she were alive).
* ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'' ultimately subverts this in the second season, when {{spoiler|Annie is helping out a medium with his show and her mother attends to try to communicate with her daughter's ghost. The mother later converses with Annie, with the medium speaking on Annie's behalf, and cries because she was unable to protect her daughter. An earlier episode said that Annie and her fiancé moved away at some point, so presumably Annie's mom wasn't involved in her life very much since then.}}
* ''[[Power Rangers Turbo]]'': Justin's mother died before he debuted in [[The Movie]], and it's implied that his relationship with his father also enters [[When You Coming Home, Dad?]] and [[Parental Abandonment]] territory at times.
