No, and the sample size isn’t terribly relevant. Yes, you could create a sample for which your conclusion was true, but it would hardly be the only possible set, or even the most likely.
As for symmetry, you seem to be ignoring the fact that for each mother or father, the relationship between parent and child is (potentially) one-to-many. Each parent can have many children. Therefore, many children can report estrangement to a single parent. This is one reason the numbers don’t match. Of course, things could go the other way, for example, where one child is estranged from two parents.
The relationship is not as symmetric as you suggest.

well, we don’t have details to reach a conclusion, so i conclude this debate ;)
