Missing her father

This one of the exercise on a facebook page Tarot one on one

Wishal Razal stated the situation as follows:

This client had 1 parent missing from her life.

Which one was it? Her mother or her father?
Important to note....EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.

Hint: The answer is in the sum total.
I dont always use maths in a reading, but i do when i am intuitively guided to pull out the old calculator.
Totals were:
36/9
3- Empress
6- lovers
9- hermit

I tried to read the cards and this is my interpretation:

I feel the client is the Queen of Wands and she is missing her father which is the King of Cups. Seems like the father has been too indulged in his social life. More concerns with others than his family. There were also lots of partying until he got involve to another woman (empress) and became his mistress. The hermit is the feeling of the Queen of Wands feeling alone but trying to learn the lesson so it will not happen again when she will have a family of her own

At the of the exercise. Wisahl interpreted the cards 

It was her father who was absent from her life. The mother kept the children away from him for about 17 years. The eldest daughter then went and found him and he then only then started giving financial support to help with her studies.
The empress shows a mother.
The lovers show the 2 children. Often the lovers depict children in a reading. And the hermit show an isolated male. 
So this is how i came to my conclusion that the father was absent.
