Does not having a father affected your kid ?

A Question to mothers who have raised kid away from fathers from a long time—-

I have a 1 yr old son and I am in the process of divorce . I want to move 800 miles away from father for a job.

My ex is so far a good father and told me that if I move away, it will be a selfish decision and will loose the attachment with baby. Likely, my son will have a minimal contact with father for next 17 years.

I am wondering how that will affect my son while growing up without father around. Any experiences ? Thanks ...
