* Vera's father in ''ComicBook/BePrepared'' divorced her mother a few years ago—recent enough that she has a toddler sister. He doesn't contact them or send money, and she hasn't seen him in several years. This results in her [[OpenMouthInsertFoot saying something hurtful]] later when she learns she has to stay at her [[SummerCampy Russian summer camp]] for two more weeks she didn't plan for and pleads with her StrugglingSingleMother to take her home--and when angry and upset, she yells that she can just go stay with her ''dad.'' Her mom gets a hurt, wounded look, and Vera immediately regrets what she said and meekly says she can endure two more weeks of camp.

There's a bit of a DoubleStandard in fiction regarding single parents. A Disappeared Dad is far less likely to have his absence explained than a MissingMom. When he's not in the picture, it's often taken for granted that he's either dead or a deadbeat and the story just keeps moving along with no thought to his whereabouts. But if he ''is'' alive, he is more likely to return and reconcile, or be a non-entity who sporadically appears just to remind the hero that Daddy doesn't care about them. [[note]]The flipside is that if both parents are absent, the character is ''far'' more likely to be obsessed with his or her lost father. Characters who have lost both parents often do not mention the lost mother at all, or she doesn't play nearly as large a role in the backstory.[[/note]] It is also possible for the Disappeared Dad to not know he's a dad at all. Unlike the Missing Mom, he doesn't actually have to be present during childbirth. The mother could very well be [[ChildByRape justified]] in keeping the father [[EvilParentsWantGoodKids out of the loop]]. When this type of Disappeared Dad is actually an established character, you get LukeYouAreMyFather.
